The phrase "overwhelming of" is not grammatically correct and should not be used in written English
It is likely a mistaken combination of two phrases: "overwhelming" and "overwhelm with/of." "Overwhelming" is an adjective that means something is very intense, powerful, or difficult to resist. For example: - The amount of homework was overwhelming for the students. - The team faced an overwhelming defeat in the final game. "Overwhelm with/of" is a verb phrase that means to give someone a large amount of something or to be overcome by something. For example: - She was overwhelmed with emotions on her wedding day. - The city was overwhelmed with excitement for the festival. A correct use of these two phrases together would be: - The students were overwhelmed with the amount of homework they received. - The city was overwhelmed with excitement because of the festival. It is possible that in informal or colloquial speech, someone may use the phrase "overwhelming of" as a shortcut for "overwhelm with/of," but it should not be used in formal or written English.
