... Except that it isn’t.
Hi all
I am wondering if it makes sense the way I used "Except that it isn't" here. I want to make the point that the problem is not about finding the content difficult, which would have been easier to deal with, but with something else.
It would have been more easily solved if the issue had been about the actual content of the subject. Except that it isn’t.
Thank you.
Best wishes
