Hi c0r,
Is it generally accepted to use the word "of" instead of "have" in certain situations? As in "would of" "could of" "should of" etc. I see this used more an more by aussies, brits etc. so I'm starting to wonder. It looks retarded, but that might just be me. |

I use "have," but I see more "of" these days. It's just a misunderstanding of a shortened "could have" into "could've" which comes out sounding like "could of". |

Of isn't the word english speakers say. It is: could have or could've . 've just sounds exactly like of. |

Yeh, I understand why some people write it. Question is, do they know it's wrong and just use it as slang, or are they dense? |
