Grammar Nazi Vent: Could Have. Not Could Of. Could Have. |
|
"He could HAVE done that".
Not "He could OF done that."
"I would HAVE told you."
Not "I would OF told you."
I apologize for this outburst. I couldn't contain it any longer.

"If he HAD gone to Seattle..."
NOT
"If he would have gone to Seattle...."
I never heard this error until I moved to the Midwest, but it is everywhere here.

I tolerate poor grammar pretty well, but this one really gets me.

13. Here are a couple I don't like........ |
|
Unacceptable: "I done it now."
Acceptable: "I done did it now." Or, "I done went and did it now."
Unacceptable: "Look at them cows."
Acceptable: "Look at them there cows."
Also, I hate when people mispronounciate common English words.
