Bored of vs. Bored with
You can be bored with something, but "bored of" is a common slip.
The comparisoni
“I'm so bored with this show.”
The ruleii
¶
Use 'bored with' or 'bored by' — 'bored of' is informal and non-standard.
'Bored of' mirrors 'tired of', so it feels natural even though 'bored with' is the standard form.
Memory aidiii
Remember it like this
You're bored WITH something because you're stuck WITH it.
