To judge people who use could of/should of/would of?

[sneezingwakesthebaby]

Am I being unreasonable?

I suppose I am a bit because someone could have any form of difficulty which affects their grammar.

But generally, I still form an opinion about someone and what type of person they are just based on their use of "of" instead of "have". I don't decide to do this. It just automatically happens when I read it.

Hmmm.

I live in a country where we say how instead of why If i typed how I speak on here it would blow your mind

I'd like that.

Welsh valleys here I can't even begin to type how I talk, be here all day ( innit butt)

I'd love it if everyone typed how they spoke.

My grandpa had a lovely Welsh accent - it only came strongly out when he sang. It's a beautiful accent to have. Mine is boring RP, but I grew up in the Midlands so bits of that thrown in.

I know someone who works on accents and if she hears you speak, she can say exactly where you've lived, even if you think you don't have a telling accent at all. It is amazing.

English people make me say Ian Beale then roll around laughing.

I love accents and regional words and phrases.

I correct DD every time she says "should of/would of", so yes, I suppose I do judge.

Mind, you, I grit my teeth when I hear "there's" when it should be "there are", as in "There's rivets and there's Levi's rivets". It's one the most common grammatically incorrect expression around; widespread in the media, you hear on tv news.

Rant over.

It makes me laff,the book thing on MN

yes the book thing is really really patronising imo, it is so sad a house with no books ok then

oh but i will poke you in the eye if you say draw instead of DRAWER

I dunno, I do think it's a shame if someone doesn't have books, I like books. I also feel sad when someone doesn't have TV or radio, though. It's good to have things to distract you, surely?

What am I missing about the house with no books thing?

it is the aww attitude though LRD

Oh, I think I get you.

I reckon the same when people go on about someone who only knows 'classic' books from watching the films. Erm ... yes ... sometimes the films are quite good too, you know. It's almost like it's a whole nother art form people put work and talent into ...

YANBU. They are the last words of a fool.

Sorry, I am one of those people.

I am shite at technology and I like books I can hold in my hands. What is wrong with that?

I don't think a book is more than a 'thing', though.

I had a kindle for Christmas and I love it. Best thing is that you can read in bed without the lights on, thus saving trees and the environment.

And without waking up babies.

A book is more than just a thing, I just think I would miss that if I had a kindle'

Yeah, ok....

tbh you cant turn the pages down on a kindle can you i would break it I chuck books on the floor in my bag stand on them, that is why i dont have a kindle I disrespect books

You give it a poke with your thumb it's quite satisfying!

I had a kindle fire for Christmas,I mainly use it to MN and FB.
