Grammar madness

I have noticed a mistake very commonly made these days in the English language. I often see sentences like this:

- I should of told him.

Or:

- We should of gone earlier.

What IS that? I cannot believe that people don't spot this mistake as they are making it - "should of" is complete NONSENSE. It means nothing, the word "of" has no role to play in the above sentences.

It baffles me.

My husband always says I speak English better than most of his friends. I tend to agree! :-)

Grammatik kan inte vara svårt.
Den slutsatsen drar jag då den "engelska" som talas i norrlands obygder förstås av inte engelsktalande...

Engelskans särskrivning? Typ.
