Is it OK to write "Look out the window." Or should it be "Look out of the window."
I'm currently living in America and the children's books here are written in the first style. The missing "of" really bugs me, especially since they put an extra "of" in sentences such as "Get off of the bed."
I've been telling my daughter that it should be "Look out of the window." but I don't know how to explain why.^^ Or am I wrong?
