One thing about getting into the big zoo with the map they gave you, I felt to explore this zoo with excitement. One thing that bothered me was all captured animals seemed not happy or alive. Are they OK? Thank you BW2/3 Joined on Sat, Oct 22 2005 Contributing Member 1,283 Carpe diem!!

One thing that bothered me was that all the animals seemed unhappy and almost lifeless.

	Mister Micawber  +  238515 Wed, 21 Jun 06 10:38 AM Not idiomatic; of is a valid option.  Actually, I am surprised that the AH Dictionary did not mention it in that definition.  In grammar books it is often presented as: All (of) my friends are gay. All (of) the animals are sad. Mister Micawber Grammar
