Grammar Pet Peeves

You'll hardly ever see me correcting someone's grammar, but there's one specific grammar error that completely bugs me:


When people say "would of" instead of the proper way, which is "would have."


I have no idea why this bugs me. Maybe because it MAKES NO SENSE when people say "would of." How does that make sense to the people that write it? Yes, I understand WHY they make the mistake; it's because it sounds like it when you say it, but anyone who has a 6th grade education in grammar can obviously tell that "of" is the incorrect word to use. Simply knowing what "of" means will ensure that you don't make that error. So anyway, if any of you say "would of," "could of," or "should of." Please know that it's actually "would have," "could have," or "should have."

Any of you have any other pet peeves when it comes to people's grammar online?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If you're referring to me, "would of" is hardly a spelling error. It's a grammatical error because the words used are incorrect. None of the words are spelled incorrectly; the words are USED incorrectly.

If you're not referring to me then ignore me.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
