I could of done that.

I should of done that.

NO!

It's could have or should have! Could've and should've will be allowed.

I don't know why this annoys me so much. I think I'll start correcting it every time I see it in a thread. But then again, I would never be away from the place if I started doing that.

I think the probolem has arrisen from people using Could've and Should've but this has then been mis-heard as Could of and Should of and so (uneducated) people think Could of and Should of are correct.

This drives my Grandad mental as well.

You're lucky that's all you have to worry about.

Can I / may I?

Can I punch you in the face?

Try it, but I'll give you a damn good hiding if you do.

May I punch you in the face.

No, you may not.


Me and John went to the park.

Actually no, John and I went to the park; take John away and you would have "Me" went to the park.


My 16 year old daughter is sitting beside me telling me she can't believe how sad I am writing about grammar on an internet forum.

Oh, the youth of today...

It's a pet hate of mine, too. Incorrect use of apostrophes (apostrophe's?) annoys me more though.
