Hi,
I let my girlfriend read a bit of something I wrote, and she said there was a sentence that she found awkward. I personally don't see anything wrong with it, but I'd appreciate other thoughts on it.
He must have lived in town for six months or so before he had a word for Joseph, and when he did it was just a friendly “Morning,” as if the two were friends.
She said the phrase "word for" was awkward even though she's heard the expression before, and that she felt the sentence was too long which I don't really agree with.
