WWYD friends tattoo mistake

[FrustratedBeyond]

Both my friend and her DH had matching tattoos today, but both have 'could of' instead of 'could have'... WWYD... Gently inform her to save a shred of her dignity or save my embarrassment to point it out and say nothing? I know its not issue of the century but Im interested to hear what others would do.

Well clearly it’s not fixable so you say nothing and politely smile and nod

[ItchySeveredFoot]

I wouldn't say anything. Not much they can do now. How can people not realise though!?

[StealingYourWiFi]

Say nothing

[afreshnewname]

What does the tattoo actually say?

[FrustratedBeyond]

That's what I would do personally but she is the kind of person who may be upset I didnt tell her lol

[BlueLightPanda]

Maybe it’s the way she speaks? a lot of people say could of instead of could have although it isn’t right.

I would just leave it OP.

[Calvinlookingforhobbs]

Say nothing! The messenger ALWAYS gets shot!

[TowerRavenSeven]

"Could of" or "Could have" what? What context is it in? I'd also just let it be whatever the context. It's not like they can do anything about it now.

[Mycatsarebetterthanyours]

Don't say anything, it's not your place to.

[FrustratedBeyond]

I didn't like her fb photo just to pretend I didn't see it! I personally would stick my head in the sand and plead ignorance... It intrigued me what others may think

[GreatDuckCookery6211]

What is the rest of the tattoo?

[ScreamingValenta]

There's nothing she can do about it now, so I wouldn't upset her by saying anything.

[FrustratedBeyond]

The tattoos say 'If our love could of saved you'

[AnneProtheroe]

Does it say "could of gone to a tattoo artist who can spell"

[FrustratedBeyond]

i assum she meant 'could've'

[User467]

That doesn't sound like the sort of tattoo that you point out an error on

[Optimouse]

It sound like it's a tattoo for a death... Say nothing and be kind

[FrustratedBeyond]

now Im at it... 'Assume'

[sycamore54321]

If there is a way it could be fixed, then very diplomatically say something- but I imagine that would only work if "could of" is at the end of a line and the rest of the text continues underneath. And it isn't framed by a box or something

Otherwise I think you need to stay silent.

Or hope that she reads this thread!

[AdaColeman]

Maybe she thinks "could of" is correct, she would not be alone!

[AnneProtheroe]

Oops so sorry

[FrustratedBeyond]

Im glad you all agree!!

[RevCurry]

You can't say anything but it would irritate me every time I saw it!

[ScreamingValenta]

Would I be right in deducing (from the context you've given) that the tattoos are a memorial to a loved one? In which case, there is even more reason not to say anything about the error.

Tell her!
Better coming from her friend than spending the rest of her life being mocked by all and sundry
