"Should of" (a rant)

[Baranar]

You've probably seen people use this before. Now, you think it'd be an uncommon or rare occurrence, but in reality, it's too damn common. So much so that they no longer realize that they're dismantling proper sentence structure very slowly, and people who correctly word their phrases with "should have" are becoming less common, or maybe even extinct on the internet as we know it.

So you people should have realized that "should of" is not a replacement for "should have/should've".

TL;DR: "Should of" is not the correct wording, "should have" is.

[Xergozy]

Does it change anything

Nope.

I should of not entered this topic.

[XenonMonkey]

When I hear people say "Should of" my mind just processes it as "Should've" because they sound exactly alike.

[tox]

this is a common occurance?
noone should be this stupid..

I knew I SHOULD HAVE asked Drake how his Video-Falconry shirt is. He's the only dummy who is active on this website that bought one.

[Swedernish]

I should of taken what you said into consideration.
Should have.
Should'bvre

[Mumbo]

You should of put a different picture of facepalm.

What saddens me is that I live in a city where everyone speaks Spanish and the most English most people know is "fuck" and "bitch" (and they think they're cool when they say it), and I have met some people from English speaking countries saying "should of" instead of "should've", "you're" instead of "your", and "by" instead of "buy".

But yeah, I'm a bit of a grammar fanatic, so "should of" doesn't get past me any time soon.
(Also, YOU CALL THAT A RANT!? I'LL RANT AT YOU 'TIL YOUR FACE BLEEDS SEMEN!)

Hey man, rants don't have to be extraordinarily long. It's not like I'm ranting about U.S. politics or anything.

I know... I just felt like I needed to tell everyone that I have ranting length superiority. ^-^

[Gyopi]

It doesn't really change the sentence, and there are much more important common grammatical issues than that.

[TheGrim]

Man, the other day my friend asked me for some cash so I gave him a ten, but I should of given him a five. I mean, I don't care if my friends pay me back or not, but I'm a penny-pincher, something I should of changed a long time ago, ya know?

BTW this thread sucks monkey balls

[VJF]

I usually don't pay it any mind. Some people are going to get it wrong. Some won't.

Well, you know, I shoulda, and I coulda, and I woulda, but I didna.

[Squidbit]

Cause people are retarded and never stop to think about what they're saying. When they say "should've" out loud, it sounds like should of, so that's what they start saying, not realize that it makes no sense at all.
Same with people saying "it's a doggy dog world"

Wouldn't that be a pretty good reason to make a new account?

[Boomstick]

I should of corrected this mistake, but I'll never not do that.

[Swag-in-a-Bag]

Shuda couda wouda. Grammar lesson for the day

[HipnikDragomir]

I only clicked on this to insult you, but I realized that you were just ranting. Good.

Also, I think retards today get it wrong because verbally when we say "should've" it sounds like "should of" so those degenerates are confusing them.

[HipnikDragomir]

Oh, and all the people here saying "oh, it doesn't change the sentence" or "it's part of languages evolving" or whatever are the tards that write it like that. In modern English, it is structured like that. Should have. You don't say "I should of this".

[Lionelion]

youre right, but people have been saying so long in the incorrect way, noone even thinks about it anymore, except for a few select people such as yourself OP. with something like this, if you dont nip it in the bud early on, its never going to get fixed
so good luck trying to get people to say it the correct way
