Shouldn't of?
Literacy that matches the opinion
As if the username and account age didn't give away your redditorness enough
That is what the guy would "of" said, yeah.
“Shouldn’t of” is a way of saying “I’m a basic dickhead who doesn’t care for your woke opinions, up to and including grammar”
Huh, TIL
It's also regularly confused with a way of saying "I went to a school with 'progressive' (read: stupid) ideas about spelling, where the 'teachers' would say dumb shit like 'how would you spell it at home?'"
Fortunately I missed all that nonsense and regularly had classes on the correct use of and distinction between they're, their and there; two, too and to; bear and bare; should have vs should of; i.e. vs e.g., etc.
language changes grandpa, get with the times
Language changes but they should still make sense right? "Shouldn't of" makes no sense.
Especially when the opportunity for a cool ass double abbreviation is right there. Shouldn't've missed the chance.
