RANT: "Should of"

Post by Molly »

It's should HAVE people. Not "We should of traded for so and so" but "We should HAVE traded for so and so."

I thought this was about something else. Here is what I hear from our SharePoint admins/developers daily:

"That should have worked".
"That should not have done that".
"It should work".

Yeah, it should, and it didn't - as usual. So now what?

It's because of dumbing down advertising that tells us to "eat mor chikin."
