00To me, "these are 01b00of02b00 your own interest" means "these are things that you will find interesting".02br
02br
00If you say "these are 01b00in02b00 your own interest", that would mean "these things will benefit you" or "these things are for your own well-being".0-

00No, I'm saying that you shouldn't say 01font00'these are01b00 of02b00 your own interest'. 02font00Use 'in' instead of 'of'.02br
