Email that reads Subject: Out, out, damned "of!" Re “How to Send Cash” and the passage “To be clear up front, you should not just stick a wad of cash in the mail and hope for the best. There's too high of a chance it will get lost, stolen, or otherwise wind up in the hands of someone you don’t intend.” That should read there’s too high a chance. I don’t know what it is with so many Americans — and it’s ONLY Americans — who feel compelled to insert the utterly superfluous word “of” into sentence like this. Truly terrible grammar.
