It's "must have" - the reason for the confusion comes from the shortened form "must've" which phonetically appears to be "must of" - but that's incorrect. English grammar dictates that the phrase is must have.

And it would only sound like must of if you're missing some teeth or have serious problems with your lips

Or if you're a Brit. I mean, seriously, have you heard some of them talk? I have really big troubles to understand some british accents  |
The British are said to have crooked teeth, that's sure to impede pronunciation

You think English is hard? You have to see my language. Mix of Slavic languages, a bit of Latin grammar :errr: That's a mess. Plus we also have a simpler way (but still not simple as Serbs do) of writing as you speak, but even that can be a mess sometimes (not to mention čćšđž, equivalent to those weird crossed symbols in Nordic lands  )

'must of' is one of the best grammar mistakes of all time, but it's getting old. Let's take not knowing english even further by introducing the new 'must of' 2.0. I give you: Mustuv.
But that's not all. I also have a sneak peak at an alpha of our next generation 'must of', streamlined for the children of today's console tards!

Speaking of grammar mistakes. People on the internet always seem to write 'alot' when they mean 'a lot'.

Seriously? Or reading books...

Or people that CONSTANTLY use "u" instead of "you" or "ur" instead of "you're" God it's infuriating. You're not on a fucking mobile phone, you're at a desk with a - presumably - full 102 key keyboard. USE IT.

Mine ain't got 102 keys. Apple threw the numerical shit away -- the art of omitting!

Your/you're is definitely the worst IMO.
Even more tragic when a person is making a valid point and lets one slip at the very last line.

| Quote: | English has 40 sounds, but there are more than 1,100 different ways to spell those sounds. For instance, the words "mint" and "pint" differ by only one letter, but the pronunciation in English is completely different.
In Italian, there are 25 sounds and they are all represented by just 33 letters or spellings. Thus, when Italian dyslexics learn to read, they struggle with fewer variables. |

Yeah well if you ARE dyslexic... then writing properly is very difficult. Dyslexia hasn't got anything to do with stupidity though. Einstein the dyslexic still wrote his general theory of relativity, which is kind of like a total masterpiece

yeah dyslexia is all reading things wrong and not seeing the right letters in their right position therefore some people believe in dog and stuff like that. 
everything else is common knowledge.
there's no reason why you shouldn't know them, unless you're not English educated.
