That's exactly what I tried to say earlier. When enough people use a certain form it becomes correct by default.

Not in all cases imho.
As for the [censored] "should of" retards, they'd need to basically change the meaning of the word "of" into the word "have" for it to work that way.

And as a general rule I believe a language's suckiness is directly proportional to the number of exceptions to grammatic rules.
