HELP: Grammar Nazis Welcomed

[yosuke188]

I am of the firm belief that this problem can be fixed.

Now I know that sounds just weird (and probably wrong). Please make it better while keeping its formality.

I firmly believe that this problem could be fixed.

EDIT: Sentence is slightly ironic, no?

(Oh, and "grammar" )

OK I am embarassed at that all too common mistake.

Are there any other suggestions?

This is like an opening to a persuasive speech, and "I firmly believe..." doesn't sound too good.

Yours is better, assuming we're trying to trim down the sentence and remove all redundancy.

I hold firmly to my belief that this problem can be corrected.

I firmly believe this problem can be corrected.

 

[Cattlegod]

The one that uses that is better.

Problems aren't corrected, they are solved. PROBLEM SOLVING.

That sounds awkward. There are two prepositional phrases in a row.

I only see 1?

Perhaps you have something better? If you do, please share.

My exact language would depend on the problem and possibly my ideas about solving it.

Based on what is here though:
I am confident this problem can be solved.

There's no use making it more wordy or awkward.

Lay the smack down on me homes, we can fix this sh!t yo!

You want fix? I get you fix. Good, yes?

Ahem, I've always preferred including "that" in my wording. It holds more power when spoken.

EDIT: As in, "I believe that this problem can be fixed." Unless you are looking for an alternative to "problem" or "fixed," I think you've got your winner.

:thumbsup: Puts more emphasis on the situation.

[LanceM]

Not too shabby. "Fixeded" for the win!
