Combining subjects, ideas and words together may produce a readable sentence. Then again, maybe not. 😢

➤ The manager Marco and the staff were very professional and polite, it was a pleasure interfacing with them.

The sentence is unclear: is talking about the manager and the staff, or the manager, Marco and the staff?

Additionally, the unusual use of ‘interfacing’ is distracting, as we are left wondering what is actually happening; ‘interfacing’ does not apply between humans 🤖 👽! Perhaps ‘interacting’ was meant, although this still sounds unnatural; try 'meet':

➤ The manager, Marco, and his staff were very professional and polite. It was a pleasure to meet them.

The edited sentence now makes better sense, sounds more natural, and has more impact. 😎

How would you have rephrased the sentence?
