I reflected on the the whole thing after hearing opinions from both sides of users. I now realise I don’t care as much anymore which may be a good thing.

I’m ok with the Lemmy plain designs.

Thank you for this valuable information.

Me, I stopped browsing reddit actively unless trying to find an answer on Google.

Thanks man, that’s all I need to know 😉

Isn’t “have” either an auxiliary verb or verb and “of” a preposition?

Is the following acceptable? If yes, why? If not, why?

• I of heard that story before.

• Diane of already gone.

• John ofn’t phoned.

• I ofn’t visited London before.

• Of you seen Roz?

• Of she been invited?

• They still ofn’t of any news when I spoke to them yesterday.

Oxford Dictionary (click Grammar Point to expand) https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/have_2 says that

A common mistake is to write ‘could of’ instead of could have or could’ve

I could of told you that.

I could’ve told you that.

The reason for the mistake is that the pronunciation of ’ve is the same as that of of when it is not stressed. This is a common error but it is definitely considered wrong in standard English.

Agree with you wholeheartedly

I perfectly understand “Duy’ou-ndarstend Diz?” but I really would not want to read this over and over again.

Of course, I don’t aim to change everyone, you do you. I just want to use the opportunity to say there is a difference between “should have” and “should of”.

lol I remember reading this on Quora

Thanks for the info about French and Spanish governing bodies. TIL

I know right, I know people make careless grammatical mistakes all the time, including me, which is completely fine but people outright thought that “should of” is correct and use it all the time starts to get annoying

I’m staying

At uni, went into a washroom, saw a guy sitting on the floor bottomless, holding a cell phone taking self-portrait of his private part. The guy saw me and immediately rushed out of the washroom

Thank you @ElectroVagrant@lemmy.world
