I’ve noticed recently that people here are saying ‘I am bored of that’ rather than ‘bored with’ or ‘bored by’, possibly there is some confusion with 'tired of'. Presumably this is another example of the growth of what we call Estuary English. I’m wondering if this particular usage has appeared outside the UK as yet? In fact, is Estuary English spreading abroad at all or remaining just a home grown phenomenon?
