To get annoyed when mnetters put "of" instead of "have"

[Doobies]

I see it more and more often in aibu.

"to of eaten this"

"to of gone out today"

To give a couple of examples.

Never seen it, or it I did assumed it was a typo.

It is horrendous.

I think you MIGHT just get an earful: for starting a thread about a thread and for criticizing someone's grammar..........

I could not care less tbh!

YANBU at all.

I don't even click onto those threads.

No, I'm with the OP. It's a really grating error.

I dont click. Irrational I know.

Probably numberfour but I am very bored....I do find it distressing though.

YABU for being annoyed only when mumsnetters do it.

I get annoyed when anyone does it

I have only seen it on here but then I don't use any other forums

It is awful in real life and written down - but it's done loads and loads (one of my real bugbears - DH even does it and I am The Queen of All Pedants

YABU though to post about it here - go to pedants' corner and you will have everyone agreeing with you.

I can (just) forgive this in speech because it's "'ve" rather than "of" - lazy but not plain wrong. I want to vomit when I see it written down because it shows the writer doesn't have the sense of what they're saying. And no, this isn't elitisim it's thinking through what you put down on paper.

YABU- why do you care?

It's horrible.

You should probably go find a friendly ear in Pedants' Corner.

YANBU at all.

YANBU. Everything Kittens said.

Who cares ..its an internet forum ffs

've/of confusion. Irksome, but not worth its own thread.

Should of put it in pedants corner

I care.
I don't open those threads.

I don't mind language changing and moving on for all sorts of reasons, but I object to it happening because of ignorance, which we are then apparently not allowed to point out because it's rude...

YABU to of let it get to you...am I doing it right wrong?

No wonder some people think MN is smugsnet

It isn't being smug FFS.

Why is it so WRONG to know something?

Its wrong to point it out all the bloody time

pedants corner is over there >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

YABU.
I of seen it hundreds have times and of now got used to it.

It's the fault of the people who voted Labour. They promised dumbing down and that's what they gave us. It is the result of their education, education, education fallacy.

It's not wrong to know or to say, bit pathetic to start a thread - IMO- but of course OP can start thread on anything and I can opine - beautiful thing MN
