point of you

May 30, 2016

Your viewpoint on a subject is your “point of view,” not your “ point of you.” “Your” and “of you” mean the same thing, and combining the two makes little sense; but the expression really gets weird when it turns into “my point of you,” “her point of you,” “their point of you,” etc.
