Difference between of and about
I cannot actually tell the difference between them when it comes to the meaning of "Feelings are directed towards something."
Why we can say "get excited about the matter", but "get excited of the matter".
While you can say "be proud of somebody" and "be proud about somebody"
Is it really no difference between them?Just idioms?
