Would of/could of/should of

[Getamoveon36]

Please make it stop.

AIBU?

Your being unreasonable

Seriously? It's just a jokey colloquial expression.

A relative uses an exclamation mark instead of a question mark.

Are you going to the shops! What time is your train!

I think pedantry should be recognised as a health condition tbh.

When I see "would/could/should of" it kind of sets my teeth on edge and sends a shudder down my spine, while my inner pedant screams "Conjugate the verb "to of" then, why don't you?".

I've learned to live with "different to", split infinitives and incorrect use or lack of apostrophes, but I can't stop being irritated this one.

This.

Maybe so.......but still does my head in 😆

Someone in my wider family uses question marks in place of exclamation marks, or even full stops.

Everything is phrased as a question?

I cant bear it 😂

I see it over and over and over, would love some rest bite from it.

Do you think we could set them up as a couple? They might neutralise one another.

Sorry, my mistake. Do you think we could set them up as a couple! They might neutralise each other?

It makes me never want to step foot on MN again!

Just this, pacifically?

You're defently not BU.

No, no, no, no. The offenders will not look there. I feel the OP's pain. We need them to see this post. It's a good thing to clear this up once and for all and use the right words.

It's far more common for people to use a question mark at the end of a sentence unnecessarily, I find.

This happens a lot on here !

There’s no space!

So happy to no their are sew many other pedants still in existence, not all off on rest bite.
The grammar police are my tribe. Proud to be a pedant.😄

Saw a new one today, ordinance instead of audience.

I'm sure some people are wishing we'd all be quite now and stop being pendants.

Do you think we could set them up as a couple? They might neutralise one another.
Sorry, my mistake. Do you think we could set them up as a couple! They might neutralise each other?

Hell no, keep them apart they might form a tribe or breed.

It drive's me mad when people make these mistake's.

So long as your not loosing weight or having another thing coming

Our local Facebook page is a hotbed of appalling grammar, poor spelling, and constant adverts for cut-price aesthetic treatments. The first two of those things aren't necessarily exclusive to the third but there's a distinct trend.

I think they should reign it in.
