Today, my girlfriend confronted me for forgetting to take the trash out. At some point during the argument, I tried to calm her down, and the words "I should of" escaped my lips. She spent the next ten minutes calling me stupid and laughing at how my grammar goes to hell when I'm distressed. FML

I have a feeling this will be one of the most grammatically-corrected threads in the history of FML. That should serve as fair warning to all the "ur" idiots out there.

I think saying it is fine since it sounds like "should've." Your girlfriend sounds like a bitch, OP.

She was laughing because you were should-ing all over yourself.

I see nothing wrong with what you said. Your girlfriend is just a bitch and you should find someone better, someone who doesn't put others down.

How does she know if you said "should of" or "should've"? They do sound the same. It's just in writing that it matters.

Yikes... your girlfriend sounds like a bit of a bitch. I would dump her out with the trash.

What you're actually saying is a made up contraction "Should've." While most people are to dumb to realize that, saying it is acceptable even while writing "should of" is not.

"Should've" is the contraction for "should have." How is that made up in any way?

Um, because she has ears and she heard him say of and not 've? They're similar sure but not the same. And how do you know she didn't ask 'did you just say should of?' somewhere in her rant to clarify which one was used?
