I was browsing the SOMETOPOLOGYJOURNAL, together with the mathematics genealogy project, when I came to the somewhat striking discovery that some of the topologists there at NEARBYCITY2-BIGCITY1 have a point in common.

In common with whom?

Do you mean "some of the topologists there at NEARBYCITY2 have a point in common with those at BIGCITY1?


> So this brought me to have a more closer look at your work. ^^^^ Redundant

I
will admit that I am not at this moment able to judge what are the fine
differences in each one's particular work (that is, among the 3
researchers in the topology research group),

Between the various researchers???

but I know that if some - any-
opportunity is present

I have some more and more growing interest in these topics,

I have an increasing (or growing) interest

and I am

enthusiastic

about joining the set theory and topology research
environment there at CITY1-BIGCORP. (From my personal experience, and
in my opinion, the environment plays a very strong role in a student's
success.) Also, I plan to do some more further readings this summer
(with my Mendelson and Munkres textbooks at hand) to be able to
understand a greater part of the articles on your website and to be
able to see in what particular directions are oriented your research.

A few more pernickety things of style, but I wouldn't want you to stop sounding mid-European. Afetr all, the stereotypical mad academic has a strong Lobachevskian accent.

As when in a freshers' week cheese-and-wine party at University, a staff member asked my new mate Steve "And vere are you coming from?". Steve, from the Black Country, replied "Oi'm frum Wallsall."

"You are coming from Warsaw? I, too, am coming from Warsaw!!!"

"Naw, Oi'm frum WALLSALL"....
