“I think yes because having to manually go and create a room is more time consuming, but the trade off is having dead sublemmys creating dead chatrooms.”
I’ve read through a few articles on whether to use of vs off and I don’t understand. Am I using the right off in this statement?
Any tricks to remember?
Yes, correct although in the case you have used I think it should be “trade-off”. I’ve seen more misuse of these words recently similar to there, their, and they’re.
The way to remember the difference is that;
off reflects a reduction or absence (even though it has more letters!)
of is used when you provide additional data or description to something.
This is totally right. Also, ‘off’ is used in a lot ways that don’t follow easy rules, but ‘of’ is used pretty much by its definition. As a rule to remember, I would use ‘off’ if I am not sure.
thanks!
