Question about English (US)
Why do you put 'of' in this sentence? If it doesn't have 'of' it's not natural or incorrect?
The devices themselves weren't of the best quality.

It’s perfectly fine if you don’t put ‘of’ in the sentence. But I suppose it makes the sentence more formal if you include it.

"Of" shows the relationship between the devices and the quality. But you don't have to have the "of" there. It's optional and sounds more natural in spoken conversation without it.
