    I’ve questioned your review of the book “The Conscience Of Ingenuity” which is partially correct. The word “of” is implied, so technically the sentence is “more than half the group. In the second sentence of your description, you could omit “of,” but you would have to include the article “the” (so it would become’more than half of the jobs’). The omission of “of” is not specific to plural or singular necessarily. “More than half the pizza” and “more than half the pizza?” are both colloquially correct. To reiterate the word “of” is implied*, even when it is omitted, and this phenomenon is not specific to singular or plural arguments.


    *This omission may have come from Latin, in which the genitive case does not have an auxiliary word meaning “of” like English. English is based on Latin. Many of its strange grammar rules are still in English. How do you treat an incident, and show why?
    Example of Latin genitive: Filius Dei
    Example of English genitive: Son of God

    Why is the link “links to” because “links of” means that the “assessment document” has links (which are the subject of this sentence), while “links to” means that there are links present on the current page that redirect you to the documents. What’s the difference between something and others?

    The river of the ocean was freshwater. The waves were stronger than the ocean. There were no equivalences.

    Affirmations like “I am tired of talking to myself, I have to give it a lot of thought” in my second sentence. But as we continue to understand your question, it is similar in usage. In our view, if an ocean was actually water, then it was that of a river. A body of water has to have another body of water. You’ll understand this here more clearly.

    From the river to the ocean, everything was freshwater. The last large part of the river was runoff. In the past every day of this century, most rivers and canals had become stagnant.

    This sentence has a different meaning. The word “save” is a unique word. On Earth, a river flows to the ocean at the same time. It is basically an ocean. However, I don’t think people even know about this. What can happen if I get my point across? Think of the link as the rivers and the documents as the ocean.


    What does this difference of meaning means? Of makes the word document genitive (a noun case), while to makes the word accusative. In English, we used to because it is saying that the link causes a “motion toward” the document it to which it redirects you. Since possessive words are used in communication, of is the appropriate use

    of the word. Of is no longer necessary.
