It's "bored WITH" not "bored OF" isn't it? Or is it either?

..or "fed up of/with", "tired of/with".. etc ..because the "of" option (if it is one) makes me feel really quite unreasonably irritated. But if it's right/ok then I will have a word with myself.

(I am having an unreasonably irritated sort of day.)

With. But I sometimes say "bored of" and have to chastise myself.

With is correct, but I also sometimes say 'of' because it's so widely used. It's still wrong though.

Oooh don't say it then.. it sounds eeeeggggaaarrrgggghhhhhhhhh! And narky people like me want to break things!

'With' is correct and I remember my mother correcting me on this when I was about 10. However, 'bored of' does seem to be normal usage now. I don't say it, but the children do.

Bored with and Bored by are correct. Bored of is not.
