Could of, should of.

[mouseymousey]

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.

[ZR1cliff]

Loose and lose do it for me. It's simple really - Only loose women lose their virginity.

[Nobody You Know]

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.

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.
