What is different? [the something of one's choice & the choice of one's something.]
I have read two links gotten some feedback from another forum.
https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/the-something-of-your-choice
https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/us/definition/english/choice_1?q=choice+
https://www.usingenglish.com/forum/threads/286514-the-something-of-your-choice-the-choice-of-your-something
According to the feedback, both structures are not the same.
the something of one's choice
the choice of one's something.
Could you tell what is different? I still don't understand why they are different.
Solution 1:
As someone on the other forum pointed out, the choice of your [something] is not really idiomatic English.
The [something] of your choice has a positive meaning - the one you have specially chosen as your favourite.
Your choice of [something] may be used in a negative sense, as in "I don't like his choice of friends".
The choice of his friends would mean 'what his friends have chosen'. It's possible to invent a context in which you might say that, but it's not a very likely expression.
