Thanks Hal; Ben also makes a good point- the "should of" probably stems from "should've".

(strange, but my spell check under lined 'should've', hmmm)

For some reason, Spell-Check has difficulty with English contractions. I try to make my writing as conversational as I can, typing my thoughts as I would say them, so I do use a lot of contractions. I finally tired of the red underlines and changed Spell-Check to either ignore or add it to the lexicon.

Too funny Ben, can I use this? Also, good catch on the "should of" vs "should've thing. My, you are a cunning linguist! [Laugh]

That's something I've always dreamed of being remembered as ... a Cunning Linguist. Or, at least, someone who pulls Cunning Stunts.

Ben, you put a joke into my head that I cannot seem to exorcise but to tell it:

Q: What is the difference between a tribe of pygmies and a women's track team?

A: The pygmies are a bunch of cunning runts.

Thank you. Good night and enjoy the buffet!

Yeah I frequently come across people writing 'should of' instead of writing should've. I'm not sure why this is a common mistake, but a fair number of people seem to make it.

I've also seen people confusing words which sound similar/the same. For example, some people may get 'our' and 'are' mixed up. That one is not so frequent, but 'there' , they're and 'their' are 3 words that often get mixed up.

I grew up in the midwest originally & a lot of people pronounce the word "wash" as "warsh". It always drove me fuckn' nuts.

I think that's just the accent, something that's not going away any time soon. It's not too dissimilar from people dropping the g at the end of words that end in -ing, or when Brits pronounce words that otherwise end in a long -a- sound with an -er, as in "Jamaicer".

Only some of the German spelling was simplified a few years ago...and that was the first change since over 100 years. (small changes similar to the US-spelling...things like "color" instead of "colour")
