While reading the works of an amateur/indie writer, I've stumbled upon a phrase that I'd never before seen used in that particular way (whereas he's using it that way constantly). Instead of "I have coffee in the morning" he's always phrasing it as "I have coffee of the morning".

Google was no help whatsover in pinpointing the distribution - geographic or otherwise - of this particular usage, except for one paper which at least established that this seems to be an acknowledged local variation but provided no further information.

So I'm turning to this learned - or at least well-read - forum: Where in the world is it common to hear the phrase "of the morning/evening/noon/night/whatever" instead of "in the morning/..."?
