Think about versus Think of #1 (permalink) Wed Aug 09, 2006 16:30 pm   Think about versus Think of
 

Please read:

1.Hardly a day goes by without my thinking of her.
2. Hardly a day goes by without my thinking about her.
3. I think of her almost every day.
4. I think about her almost every day.

These 4 sentences have the same meaning?

.
Think about sounds like longer, more active thinking and think of might be just a quick thought.

Otherwise, there isn't much difference between the sentences.
