About which
Hello, I hope you all are doing ok.
I would like to know if the following construction is correct, and if not, how I can correct it. Thanks
1. I made a list of the words about which I am uncertain whether I can state during a call or not.

Nature04 I made a list of the words about which I am uncertain whether I can state during a call or not. It's understandable with some effort, and there's nothing grammatically wrong with your use of "about which", but the sentence as a whole is awkward. I would probably have phrased it more like this: I made a list of words, but I'm not sure if they're suitable for use in a telephone call.
