In fact if you read the sentence syntactically and carefully, 'She could of ....' makes no sense. However, if you think about what the other person must have been 'hearing' in their head when they wrote the sentence, you can figure out that they meant 'She could've ....' I find it tiring to continually have to try to decrypt what someone else meant when they misspell or mis-type in messages or posts. It's almost like becoming a code breaker sometimes to have to think, 'Well the sentence says 'blah', but that is the opposite meaning of the thought being expressed in the rest of the paragraph so if they typed 'j' instead of 'k' in that word, because those two letters are next to each other on the keyboard, then ran the message through the spell checker and it changed the word to ....' After a while, I just give up and decide what they had to say wasn't that important. It would be nice if everyone spell checked and proof read their writing so they are sure they are saying what they meant to say. PS: wrayal: 'regardless' and 'irregardless' [b]don't[/b] mean the same thing, since "irregardless" is not a word. "Irregardless" is an attempt to say either 'regardless' or 'irrespective'. I think that is what NoJive was referring to in his post. It is one of those things people, who should know better, say and make themselves look un-educated. . -- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.
