Difference between "secretary to" and "secretary of"?
I've always wondered what's the difference between "secretary to" and "secretary of"? for example: should I say "she's the secretary of dr. so-so" or "she's the secretary to dr. so-so"?

Not a stupid question at all. In fact I have learned from these forums that prepositions are among the most difficult words in the language for non-native speakers. As to your question.

- Either one is acceptable.
- I have a slight preference for "of" for no particular reason.

As to your question. Either one is acceptable. I have a slight preference for "of" for no particular reason. I guess it's mostly a matter of speakers choice.
