Dear Azooz

It appears the two are correct with a slight difference in meaning :

be angry at something or someone to be irritated by or indignant about it or them.
be angry with someone or something to feel or express displeasure, disappointment, etc towards them or it.

#2 (with) is milder as it means being 'uncomfortable' o

You can only use "angry of" in spoken English if you want people to think your spoken English is bad...

Hi,

I'd like to suggest a further distinction.

angry at This can be both personal and impersonal. I can be angry at my wife, or angry at the government.

angry with This seems more to suggest a personal context. I can be angry with my wife, but it sounds a bit odd to me to say that I am angry with the government. '

You can also have angry about -- when responding to the overall situation that is still ongoing.
