Off with of
"Is this the fastest car of ever?", asked Dominic.
He has this peculiar expression: "of ever", which he uses to mean "ever". "This is the biggest house of ever!"
Daddy: You don't need to say "of". Just say "ever"
Dominic: (tries out the new phrasing) The fastest car...ever.
Doesn't like it.
Dominic: (glum) But I like 'of'. Don't tell me I cannot say 'of'.
Daddy: Ok.
