"about which I notified you/which I notified you about"
Hello,
so I used the form "about which I notified you", because I wanted it to seem more direct. And I think this would have worked with most other verbs, but not with "notify about" which are a unity.
I wanted to ask if it is completely "wrong" or just not very good sounding.

Anonymous "about which I notified you/which I notified you about" Both are perfectly fine. The first is more formal; the second is less formal. CJ

Okay, thanks. I was paranoid, because someone had accused me of being "circuitous". Which is just a very convenient way to undermine argument, in my opinion.

Anonymous someone had accused me of being "circuitous".It is that, in that it is longer and very formal. You don't tell us where (in what medium) you used it, but it would seem very pompous in an email between colleagues, for instance.
