Tim English



"I am going to watch the Seinfeld episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm."  

The CORE MEANING of the word of: a preposition introducing a noun or noun phrase that provides more information about a preceding word or phrase, usually, but not always, also a noun.

TIM: It makes sense either way.  The structure makes sense.  I mean, if I said this with different words to anyone else they would know what I mean.  Both things have to be true though.

Facts: Seinfeld has never had an episode featuring characters or about the show Curb Your Enthusiasm, because that is literally impossible.

Example used to prove that Tim is an idiot: Going back to the definition of the word of it introduces a noun or phrase that provides more information about the preceding word.  TIM! Does Curb Your Enthusiasm provide additional information about the preceding word (Seinfeld)?

ANSWER: NO!

Previous argument: The Seinfeld episode of The Couch. 

In this case The Couch offers additional information about the Seinfeld episode; that being the title. However, this really has nothing to do with the argument and actually removing the word of would make more sense. 
TIM repeats his argument that no matter what we say he feels that he is correct and that his use of the preposition of is understandable by all “Americans.”  But TIM is entirely wrong, though  some may correctly understand his meaning when he speaks, my argument remains the same.  That is that unless the noun or phrase that follows of provides information about the preceding word the sentence in itself is wrong and hereby deemed unable to understand if following the guidelines set by the English language. Hah! 

Public Party Foul: Tim Thomas Drink Up, got a Sharp's Miller right here for ya..
