So just stop it

Okay, people..."Should've" is a contraction of "Should" and "Have." Not "Should" and "Of"


I see people do that all the time...it's sort of annoying.


I see what you did there. People writing stuff on the internetz seem to confuse contractions with separate words. It's funny at first, but it gets pretty old quickly...and also pretty sad when you start to see it happening more and more often. Much like pronouncing the 't' in often. So...for those of you out there who need the grammar refresher course...here are contractions and word combinations that you mess up too often:

Sort Of - Not "Sort've"
Kind Of - Not "Kind've"
Should've - Not "Should Of"
Could've - Not "Could Of"
