| Apr 26, 2015 at 14:42 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | @Edwin: I didn't. But basic questions like this are always turning up on ELU - and since I think they should be on ELL anyway, I usually do a "site-specific" Google search when I see something so trivial here. The search site:english.stackexchange.com "think of" "think about" finds three such questions, and "thought of" "thought about" finds another one. But they'd be hard to find using the built-in SE search facility, since it ignores little words like of. | |
