Is this sentence correct:


"I argued to the administrators about the quality of the product, and I even base myself on arguments of experts in synthetic polymers."


Note: By 'argue', I mean in writing, and not in speech.

  

Top answer

" and "base myself" are understandable but awkward phrasing. As I understand it, the sentence might be better, for example, as: I complained to the administrators about the quality of the product, using arguments by experts in synthetic polymers.
