If you are saying "should of" is wrong then it's not clear from what you wrote.
Seemed clear enough to me.

If you are saying that "should of" is the correct phrase then you are wrong, "Should have" is the correct way of saying it. The reason people think it is "should of" is because "should have" is frequently shortened to "should've" and when said it does sound like "should of" but it isn't.

If you are saying "should of" is wrong then it's not clear from what you wrote.
We're saying the same thing. I was trying to say the correct saying is SHOULD HAVE instead of "SHOULD OF". We are definitely in agreement. It's a pet peeve of mine. Writing should of doesn't even make sense - I guess it's another issue of trying to spell phonetically.

And not reading what you write to ascertain whether it makes any sense.

At all.

That's exactly what I was thinking.
