This is the worst word salad ever seen in a complete sentence

"I’d of had to of went home."

Someone talking about being invited to someone's house that was a pigsty.

How can you conjure that sentence up?

I thought the exact same- there’s something charming about it!

I wish people wouldn’t defend misuse of language.

To me, word salad is long sentences full of corporate wankspeak or phychobabble phrases that are meant to sound intelligent.
This is just a phrase by somebody using bad grammar which is sadly becoming very common.

I would have neither written it nor spoken it but I guess it’s semantics. We know what was meant 🤷‍♀️

Indeed, though can be handy for sifting in recruitment. CV straight in the bin.

My friends call me the grammar police , but I too understood this perfectly 🤣

It really depends whether you believe that informal communication on a chat board (or whatever Mumsnet is) requires correct English with proper SPAG or is more analogous to chatting with friends in your day to day vernacular. Now that sentence is a bit of a word salad!

edited for inevitable errors

I probably shouldn’t, but I do this as well.

It’s actually quite a complex grammatical construction -
‘I would have had to have gone home.’ Maybe someone cleverer than me can give it a name!

All that’s happened is that ‘have’ has twice been replaced by ‘of’ - now almost accepted as vernacular speech, and the past tense of ‘to go’ used, instead of the past participle. Otherwise it’s fine. And understandable. Lots of people wouldn’t even have attempted that construction.

Surely incorrect yourself, OP, as the term is pig's stye; a reference to a the unsightliness of a swelling on the eyelid of a 'hog' 🤔.

Seriously?

I’ve just seen in trending, AIBU to of expected husband not to of gone,,, I know ‘ve sounds like of in many accents, but no one ever has seen it written in a book, an advert, a magazine.

As @MyDadWasAnArse said, the first user of ‘of’ in this context has a lot to answer for!

Seriously?
My thought exactly.

I wonder @Seymour5 if the issue is that a lot of today's people don't read anything. They just get their information spouted at them from a screen.

No, I don’t think a sentence like OP’s example is standard in Hiberno-English.

Your own examples are typical though.

It's a perfectly normal dialect sentence. I wouldn't bat an eyelid if someone said it in spoken conversation. Written down, it would depend on the context - it's not appropriate for any sort of formal communication, in an informal situation I would notice the "of" rather than "' 've " and if it was in a Facebook post or text, I would think it was probably appropriate in the context for that particular person.

Some people say 'of' very clearly.
