Grammar
Of and among
My English teacher told me that "-of N and -among N" are sometimes interchangeable for the same meaning, but I cannot agree with it. Could you give me any examples where they can be used interchangeably. And I am sorry about not giving any sentences and context. Thank you so much in advance.
