Deadshot465:I think it depends on where the "of" appears in a 11/02 23:35
Deadshot465:sentence. 11/02 23:35
Deadshot465:For example, "Curry rice is one of his favorite 11/02 23:37
Deadshot465:foods." If you change it to "Of his favorite foods 11/02 23:37
Deadshot465:, curry rice is one." sounds awkward to me imho. 11/02 23:38

SetsunaLeo:or "He is the smartest of all students." 11/04 08:46
