How dare you correct my high in the morning ass!

That being said, I made the edit. I bet it made the comment better.

My sincerest apologies for killing a delectable morning buzz, but my eye twitches due to my slight 'tism when I see the "should/could of" error.

It's not you. It's me.

I wonder if this is a mistake only native speakers do, because I (as non native speaker) don't understand why anyone would mistake "of" for "have".

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's because when it's said aloud, many of us just truncate the "have" ('ve) and it sounds like "of". Then we go to type it and often type what we think it sounds like...

No problem man I understand. I accept your 'tism and hope you having a good day.

And if not take a hit 😎
