Is this sentence correct:
"I would like to say that because of the slowness of the process to renew my EU passport, I decided to give up."
In a formal letter, would the worlds 'slowness' and 'to give up' be appropriate?
Top answer
'slowness' doesn't work, but 'give up' is fine. I think you're aiming at something like these: Renewing my EU passport was taking so long that I decided to give up. The process of renewing my EU passport [took / dragged on] so long that I finally gave up.
- 'slowness' doesn't work, but 'give up' is fine.
