Right: "I should have raised there!"
Wrong: "I should of raised there!"

Hmm. So when would you say "should of" done something?

am I being leveled?

edit:
note:
further v farther
who v whom
irregardless is not a word
alright should never be used instead of all right.

and ridiculous is not hard to spell. wtf?!

i make loads of typos because sometimes i get really enthusiastic and post before i change my mind.

I just can not comprehend the amount of nit that someone would have to have to post something like the OP did. This is a message board, who give a flying [censored]?

Well, lousy grammar is like large visible tattoos or risque piercings: lots of people aren't going to care, but some will and they're going to think less of you for it.

Now you can say "eff them", which is your prerogative, but personally I like to make my posts as coherent as possible so as to not distract from whatever point I'm trying to make.

Plus I think people who make excessive grammatical errors as cited in the OP are dumb, and I'd prefer to think I'm not part of their clan.

Irony is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is a gap or incongruity between what a speaker or a writer says, and what is generally understood. Generally there is an element of humour, stemming from the onlooker's perception of paradox.

You did not site your source.

It's "cite", homey. Otherwise, nice job.

[econophile]

it seems rather arbitrary which points of grammar people get upset about.

for example, when asked "how are you doing?" most people respond "good," and few would fault them for this even though "well" is the more grammatical response.

Id rather be friends with someone who doesnt spell grammar correctly than someone who points out the fact that you shouldnt end a sentence with a preposition.

fluffpop you're wrong about irregardless. it sucks but sometimes enough morons are incorrect that they change the rule. irregardless is a word.

This pretty much explains my thoughts on the subject. Especially in the case of "should of." It's just not possible to have a decent understanding of the English language and make this mistake.

I don't think it's ever grammatically correct.

Think this stems from "should've" sounding like "should of", but TBA's right - it's always correct to say "should have"...
