I can take many grammatical inaccuracies, but would of is not one of them. Lets just all start using the correct form would have. My eyes are bleeding.

Very Happy

@TSR69

Surprisingly, the "could of, would of, should of" thing largely seems to be a British cancer Sad

That and the prevailing bullshit online about "we're not in a classroom now, proper spelling doesn't matter!" Facepalm The fuck you say? Proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar aren't limited solely to a friggin' lesson, you classless twats.

The horror, the horror!

I've also noticed that it's more common among Brits than foreigners. I would even venture to say that in most languages foreigners (those that wanted to learn the given language) at least try to speak/write properly, whereas natives don't give a shit.

Add occurence checks for "could of" and "should of" as well and I'll use it on every goddamn page on the web.

Web browsers should have built-in autocorrection scripts that also show a popup saying something like "would HAVE, you dumbass!" and redirect the user to the Cambridge Dictionary page for an hour or two. That might teach 'em!

Hahah, it's so bad that people have been banned for it. That says a lot about the gravity of the issue! I would have and perhaps I could have made a joke about it, but the last time that I did it I got banned as well xD
So beware fellow Humpers, and double check your woul

'I brought' instead of 'I bought' drives me mental.

Grammatical stuff gets to me more when it's British people getting it so horribly wrong.

We're British, we should be the best at it! It's depressing to see and hear non-English people with better English skills than us.
