Hello
Could anybody please take a look at this if it is OK?

thanks

What is it supposed to mean?

Something like: It sounds rather like tweet than a song.

I wanted to use 'more of a'. I know it works in this sentence: You want to work as a marketing assistant, Karen, but it is more of a desk job.

So why can't I say: It sounds more of a tweet (meaning: that is not a song but tweet)

I would say "It sounds like more of a tweet than a song". If the context is not birdsong, I don't know what it means.

I don't like the wording. How about: "It sounds more like a tweet than a song."

You could also say It is more a tweet than a song.

And if you want to shorten it even more "It is more tweet than song".
