<br>"Bored of" appears to be a generational thing (30 and under) in New York
<br>City.  I, who try to be objective about these things, am driven up the same
<br>wall.  It may be yet another losing battle.

<br>
<br>
<br>Lately on campus I've heard a number of young students use the phrase
<br>"bored
<br>of" as in "I'm bored of this course." It's really been driving me up the
<br>wall. But even worse, today I overhead someone say, "I'm sorry. Are you
<br>embarrassed of my question?"
<br>Is this just a local thing (British Columbia), or has anyone else noticed
<br>this odd use of "of"?
<br>Cheers,
