Ta muchly might just become one of my new favorite phrases!
Brokeback_Dev:
I picked just one... Shouldn't of or more to the point should of....
There's no changing whats already happened, so wasitng time wondering shouldnt of or should of isnt going to get you anywhere.
It goes right along with coulda, woulda, if only.... You get the point! there's no changing whats already done. Accept it and move on. damn :P

I picked the same one as BrokebackDev but for different reasons: Shouldn't of
Is that as in "I should not of done that?" Obviously the correct way is "Shouldn't HAVE" . It's amazing how many intelligent people substitute OF for HAVE, it's certainly rampant on the net.
English is not my first language and I know I often mangle my sentences but this OF business drives me NUTS!

I would never have guessed. Seriously! :)
And I work with the language for a living.
Or should I say, "I would never of guessed"? ;D

Thanks Jeff! What I neglected to mention is that I have become less proficient in my first language, both when speaking and writing it. But yes, my first language - the one we spoke at home while growing up - is french. I've been slowly losing it since moving to Toronto, so now I have an accent both in English AND in French. :'(
