I'm reasonably sure this is satire but it's gotten awfully hard to tell the difference over the last several years.

I guess I never thought about it..
The main difference between of and about is that the preposition of implies a possessive quality while the preposition about implies concerning or on the subject of something. The two prepositions of and about are among the top misused terms in English.

Sorry, I didn't take it as criticism but grammatical errors in memes are a bit of a pet peeve of mine. The ones that start with something like "Republicans be like..." make me a little crazy(er). I don't know that I've ever posted one of those because of it.Sam the Centipede wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2023 10:39 amShizzle Popped wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2023 6:35 pmYeah, I didn't like the wording either but I got the gist so I posted it anyway.Shizz, I certainly wasn't criticizing your posting it! I really enjoy the stuff you post here, please keep doing it, regardless of grammaticality!
