    Must HAVE, Should HAVE, Could HAVE...

    ...learned to write proper English in school or on your own but instead you half-illiterate native English-speaking dumbasses insist on writing "must of", "could of" and "should of" even after you have been told more than once! Even many of the Europeans who write English as a second, third or fourth language like MaDalton spell & write it correctly, so what's your problem for fuck's sake?

        If they're writing it wrong, you are correct. But if they're saying it, could just be a matter of what you are hearing.

              I'm talking about written English right here on GFY and other forums too. More people don't know the difference than those that do at this point.

                                    You missed a comma.

                                      You raise a good point about the use of the so-called "serial comma" or "Oxford comma" in written English. There is some debate in the subject depending on which country you originate from, whether you are writing something formal or informal, (look there it is!) and whether you are following the Chicago Manual of Style or the AP Stylebook. You can read a lot more details on Wikipedia and decide the appropriateness for yourself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_comma. Of course about using "could of" in place of "could have" or "could've" there can be no debate. That's just ignorance.

                                        And, AaronM, I believe the comma before the "or" is optional and typically left out more than not.

                                          I usually skip the last comma too. Then again, I'm a high school drop out.

                                            Even as non English speaker I don't understand how is it possible to write "to" instead of "too". I read it everywhere, they even sound different, how come people mix them up...

                                                  you'd accomplish more if you tried to educate others instead of ridicule them.

                                                      I hate lazy illiterate morons. Jesus fucking on a cracker doll house.

                                                      I haven't been inside of a school room since I was twelve, and no, I don't come across as a college professor... hell, I've seen them spell lose like this LOOSE and I think .. what are you talking about, the hooker you took last night?

                                                      At least the way I write, it makes some sense.
                                                      It doesn't follow any rules - it's Fred Talk, when I speak or write. I make the rules for it, so if anyone ever thinks I'm not using proper grammar or spelling, they're wrong, by default.

                                                        you must of been dropped as a baby to cause such concern ;)

                                                        but seriously, why bother worrying about it, there are a lot more concerning things in the world. I write in my own style, i often write as i might talk in a casual situation.

                                                        Perhaps you spend more time writing and less time getting laid and others spend less time writing and more time getting laid, when you look at it that way who is the fool ?

                                                          i went to two too much media office parties.

                                                          they all sounds the same to me , say it out loud.

                                                                                                they all sounds the same to me , say it out loud.
                                                                                                two and too sounds same, but no way to sounds same as too or two.

                                                                                                Plus it does not even matter, its like 3d grade knowledge (to know the difference between to and too). Its unbelievable how is it possible to write to instead of too..
