Grammar
Of...Said
In magazines, when authors interview people, they use this format:
"On his work: '........' "
"On family: '.......' "
"On school: '......' "
which is a short hand format of:
"On his work, he said: '........' "
"On family, he said: '.......' "
"On school, he said: '......' "
Could "on" be replaced with "of", to have this:
"Of his work: '........' "
"Of family: '.......' "
"Of school: '......' "
as a short hand format of :
"Of his work, he said: '........' "
"Of family, he said: '.......' "
"Of school, he said: '......' "
"On his work: '........' "
"On family: '.......' "
"On school: '......' "
which is a short hand format of:
"On his work, he said: '........' "
"On family, he said: '.......' "
"On school, he said: '......' "
Could "on" be replaced with "of", to have this:
"Of his work: '........' "
"Of family: '.......' "
"Of school: '......' "
as a short hand format of :
"Of his work, he said: '........' "
"Of family, he said: '.......' "
"Of school, he said: '......' "
