Correct it please for me
Hi dear teachers. I have put down a short comment and I would like you to correct it in case it's wrong. Thank you in advance.
You know, really to me too now. Because it coincides with a milestone in my life. By the way, I do like almost all your pieces, notes of which you mastermind so skilfully.
Part in italic doesn't sound awkward, does it?

Wow, Fandorin, kind of confusing! This is my version: "You really know me now, too, since it coincides with one of my life's milestones. " Hope I got it right.

Hi Renan. Welcome to English Forums.
I'm glad you contributed, thank you. But I want to say it my way. I'm just wondering whether part in italic sounds smooth and grammatically fine.

Ok, pal.
However, sometimes one's way is unidiomatic or weird to the native ear. I'm not native but deal with them everyday. Some of them told me your sentence was kind of confusing.
And, on the other hand, "whose" and "of which" are interchangeable.
Cheers!

Oops! When talking about people, "whose" is the only correct choice, and not interchangeable with "of which".
