Hi,

"Your language level can not do justice to long sentences. That's why you gotta keep them short!"

Is "do justice to" acceptable here?

Thank you!
 
I wouldn't use it. Also, as I'm sure you must know by now, it's not acceptable to use "gotta" in writing.

Thanks for the reminder! I will keep that in mind:)
So is it Okay to say "I can't do justice to sexy clothes because I don't think I am sexy enough."?

Will it make sense if "can not do justice to" is replaced with "is not up to"?
