The spurious ‘of’ in phrases of the form ‘it's not even that funny of a joke’.
Oddly enough, in the English i speak, "It's not even that funny a joke" is more incorrect than "It's not even that funny of a joke."
It's worth noting that my English prefers "That needs done" over "That needs to be done."
So much of American English has been wonderfully polluted by German and Dutch =) |
