What's the context?

Over here it would definitely be common to hear something like, "two tracks off of the album" interchangeably with something like, "two tracks on the album".

I think that's what I heard first but then it grew into everything and anything. Basically you'd just say "two tracks off the album". There's no need for the "of" whatsoever. "the cat fell off the tele" not "the cat fell off of the tele".
 
Ah I see. If someone dropped the "of" over here it'd probably sound just the same to my ears.

Some people have no regard for efficiency innit

"Off of". Fuck that shit back to wherever it came from. Radio 1 probably.

"On accident" has recently crept into modern language too. Boils my piss that one.
 
One I've noticed since living in London is the new generation of 20 somethings erroneously writing "I can't be asked" in messages instead of "I can't be arsed". Could only happen down south with their long As.
 
Same difference is decade's old & still boils my piss.
I also get needlessly wound up over "smart casual ". It's one or the other!
 
Pah, if Northumbria didn't need apostrophes then neither do we.

Mad thread this... By the way, what's a tele? Is it a telly, or even a TV....? (emoje with tongue in cheek)
My worst, most hated is 'bored of...'
Shocking and getting more commonly used every day.
Guys, you get 'Bored WITH something...'
Like wot this thread is...
