too short of a notice

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

This phrase is used to indicate that the notice given is too brief or insufficient. It is often used in contexts where the timing or duration of the notice is being criticized.

Examples:

  • I can't make it on such short notice.
  • She resigned with too short of a notice.

Alternatives:

  • too brief of a notice
  • too short notice
  • insufficient notice
  • inadequate notice

too short of notice

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

This phrase is used to convey that there is a lack of notice in general, rather than commenting on the specific length or timing of the notice. It is often used in contexts where the overall amount of notice is insufficient.

Examples:

  • We were given too short of notice to prepare for the meeting.
  • There was too short of notice for the event.

Alternatives:

  • insufficient notice
  • inadequate notice
  • short notice
  • lack of notice
  • not enough notice
Both phrases are commonly used, but they have slightly different meanings. 'Too short of a notice' implies that the notice itself is too short, while 'too short of notice' suggests that there is a lack of notice in general. The choice between them depends on the intended meaning.
