Description

I ran across the phrase "a little of practice" in a comment thread. It seems more like nonnative English than like a typo. It seems common enough to find examples for tests and I also found no false positives.

So I made a Weird rule.

This might be part of a wider usage mistake as I found an example of "a little of advice" while looking for real-world examples.

How Has This Been Tested?
