I don't get this. Recently, people have been trying more and more to not use the incorrect "should of", but instead of using the proper contraction (in the title), they often use "should have". That just makes it look weird and too formal.

What are your thoughts on this?

They're still shook it's not "should of", they don't want to disturb the balance…

focus on other things imo

People think it's "should of"

Should of = cancer

I only say should've because should have sounds clunky and weird

They're still too busy using "should of." Idiots.

You did read the OP's issue being them using the non-contraction version of "should've", right?

Is this thread for real
Should've delete it.

The fact that some native english speakers use should of

should've sounds weird for a non-English speaker like me...I don't use -'ve in general too much.

Idk

It reminds of year 11 where my english teacher had to go out of her way to teach most of the class to not use 'could of' and 'should of' and use 'could've' and 'should've' instead

I guess this is the result of Internet grammer Nazis. A lot of people are too worried over sounding correct rather than letting language evolve like it should.

I was bored.

i always use should've

I don't speak English fluently and i have never saw/used "should of"

Can't_M!ss_This always uses could've would've and should've

English is just my third language, but I use "should've" a lot.
