"how does it read to you?" vs "how does it sound to you?"
Hi all
suppose i have a sentence and i would like to know how it "sounds" to you, native speakers (I mean, for example if you think it's "formal" or "correct" and so on...). Which question should I choose for this purpose?
"how does this sentence read to you?"
"how does it sound to you?"
of course other suggestions/rewritings welcome
thanks for your help and congratulations on this great community

I'd say that "How does this sentence sound to you?" would be the most typical question.
