Is there a structure as
It was [some adjective, usually negative] of [someone].
in the English Language?
I often find myself writing things like
-
It was quite bold of him.
-
I agree—it was pretty pedantic of me.
I'm not even sure this is completely grammatical, but I have seen "too foolish of [...]" being used a couple of times here and there. I can't find solid evidence that this can be extended to all kinds of adjectives to describe someone, in general.
I strongly believe it was somewhere in SE I first encountered this sort of phrasing and am pretty confident it had been used with "pedantic".
The only place I found a reference to this structure after googling all possible configurations is some site called Ludwig. Here, there's a good many examples of "foolish of [...]" being used in trusted sources.
EDIT
The reason why I asked this question is...
I wrote:
This might come off as quite idiotic of me, but I don't [...]
But it doesn't sound right to me, whereas using it in the usual way with a be-verb before it doesn't.
Should I have written
This might come off as being quite idiotic of me.
instead?
This makes me wonder if there are certain limitations on how and where this structure can be used.
