It’s could HAVE, would HAVE and should HAVE.
Now write that 100 times on the board and never make that mistake again!
My forehead is getting sore and bloody and my keyboard is getting sticky, so I’d appreciate action on this soonest. Thanks.
Yikes! That just doesn’t seem to be worth the corpuscles.
Might as well forget about it. “Could of” will probably be standard usage in a couple of generations anyway.
<shrug> What can you do? Not a lot, right?
lolololol!!!
u r sooooo funnee, opelcat!!!
i wish i posted that first i even thot about it! yea, i really shoudl of!
ur the best!!!
You know what’s pathetic? I thought the title said “could OF?, etc.” as if it were the two letters O-F. I said to myself “Could O-F what? What is O-F? Opalcat will explain it in her post, I’m sure…”
I’ll admit to saying “could’ve” or “would’ve” when speaking, which could sound like “could of” or “would of,” but if people are actually writing “of” instead of “'ve”… yeah, that’s annoying. Right up there with “loose” and “lose,” “then” and “than,” “your” and “you’re,” and “its” and “it’s.” Yuppers.
andros:You’re the devil, right?
and that’s the worst fucking part! illiterate retards get to guide the future of our language, and they have every right to do so!!! that just burns be up. arrgghh!
that would be "burns me up, you illiterate retard!
Sorry, but the correct usage is “coulda, woulda, shoulda.” You can look it up.
Okay, I have no idea WHERE, but it’s all over Google.
Jesus. You’re strict!
Well, if I gotta, I guess I gotta …

… my hand’s getting tired. Can I stop now?
You’d better stop or you’ll go blind!
Ah yes, the joys of spelling phonetically. Disregard the meaning behind the words. It sounds like they’re saying “of” so fuck it, they write “of.”
Just laziness, if you ask me. Can’t be bothered to think about what’s being written, just write it the way it sounds. Don’t kids learn about abbreviations in school anymore?
Fuck abbreviations, Crunchy, how about contractions? 
Those too.
Dammit. I’m going to crawl back into my hole now.
Aw, that’s just a big myth, anyway, ya goof.
Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go shave my palms.
“A myth. Myth! Myth!”
“Yeth?”
Ahem … I was just perusing the Master’s latest article - on Mary Magdalene and Jesus. In it I found the following quote (bolding mine):
“But writing at the remove of two thousand years, I can also say: coulda been.”
So, I say to you, Opal, AHA!!
And I took all that time to cut and pas…, er, I mean to write all that crap out over and over.
I expect a hand massage.
It’s:
Could’ve
Would’ve
Should’ve
When someone makes the above statement, that’s how it should be spelled. If they type or write it out as “could of”, etc., then yes, in that case they are using poor grammatics.
Flame away. I’m strapped in and ready for it.
Maybe if we all spoke Esperanto, we wouldn’t have these problems.
Next on the chopping block: supposably.
[Joey]“Did they go to the zoo? Supposably…”[/Joey]
And while I’m ranting: if it’s a mute point, then shut up!
Thank you for your attention.
Ummm…I think that’s a moot point. But I could be wrong - it’s happened once before.
I’ll second “supposably” though.
