    I know, Carang. Seems to be a British thing - maybe because of the ease with which they are apt to mumble the " 've" into an "uff", "ov", or "of" (take your pick).

    again, sorry... that along with "irregardless" and "unthaw" just drive me around the bend!

    i don't usually make a habit of correcting english on here, especially as i rarely proofread my own posts...

    Not your ad blocker but my pasting was a bit off. Sorry! Here - try again; it's worth a read: Could of, should of, would of “Language Rules!”
