Off vs off of
Hello, everyone ..
I came across the following while reading an article online - here's:
"In addition, the site claims the next Xbox specs which were leaked last year weren't far off what we can actually expect Microsoft to announcement later this year." Source: https://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/consoles/next-xbox-release-date-news-and-rumors-1266462
My question: shouldn't it be: " .. far off of what .. "?
Thank you.

That sentence is correct as written. In AmE you will hear "off of" quite often but I don't think there's ever any justification for it.
