> I keep seeing the use of "off of" when "off" is enough. Today, I found it in the operating instructions for my lawn mower, and I see it in the paper from time to time. Once recently, I saw in it a magazine. In this area it is common in speech.

I don't think I've ever seen that. Can somebody give a sentence where "off of" would be used when "off" would suffice?
