I've seen it often enought now I'm ready admit I must have missed that day in grade one when the teacher said something like: 'of' is the same as 'have.' '....the top dog, he could of simply done what he's done ......' Could've would've should've might've. (add to it) I willing accept that quickly said "could've" [b][u]SOUNDS [/u][/b] like 'could of'' but when your first language is english I really don't get it. When I've encoutnered '...she could of...' and similar, english (I'm pretty confident) is almost certainly the writer's first language.... and then the writer repeatedly uses 'of' instead OF "[b]have[/b]" I must reluctantly conclude the writer [b]believes [/b] 'could of' is the same as 'could have.' We're not talking ... I seen him . How close was you. Were tallking. We're not talking about 'tense' and all that sort OF stuff. Or are we? Is this [i] [b]evolution [/b][/i]of the language? Please tell me[b][u] OF & HAVE[/u][/b] is not the same as; regardless and irregardless? A bit of help please before I go outside and fall on my sword. ___________________________________________________________________________ The goal in Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy moly what a ride!"
