"Away from"

[–] tyler@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

well that means something different. in @Telorand@reddthat.com's example, off of would imply taking the car or whatever physically off of the track, even if only by a few feet, while away from would mean something further removed, like out of the complex or down the street.

But what if you don't want it away, you just want it off but nearby?
