In another question regarding a difference between short on and short of, the answer says the following:
... But this is not always the case. A person can be short on/of money, but lacking a specific amount, someone can only be €10 short or short €10. This construction never uses a preposition.
but is that really true? I can see sentences like "I am short of 10 dollars" quite often.
