lol sorry OP but as much as I'm not a grammar nazi most of the time; if you can't even use proper grammar while writing an FML about being insulted for not using proper grammar, then you clearly deserved it.
OP, "I should of" sounds just like "I should've" (when said aloud), which is grammatically correct. You should've just made her feel like the **** she is. I would've.
Eye wood of two.
24, there's a chance that since they were arguing that he might have separated his words more like, "I. SHOULD. OF." in which case it would have been more noticeable, but that doesn't really mean that the girl should have flipped. In verbal conversation, usually you can let the little things slide.
you mean Nazis.
65- that's the joke. *slow clap*
I'm noth a grammar nazi buth I thoo hade wen peopal make simpel stupid misthakes and mess up "there, their, your, you're, should of"
So messed up.
36-I love it when you say you love it but you don't.
Problem with that being that she would continue the fight simply because he corrected her... Some women have a hard time accepting being wrong, but have no problem pointing out when others are
I believe some people do not realize that commas are a part of grammar. It's sad.
See, I can hear a distinct difference between "should of" and "should've." I'm not saying that OP's girlfriend should have called him stupid, but they are quite different.
says the person who doesn'tknow how to spell descent
Time to put her to the curb.
Actually, it sounds like it's time to take the garbage bin to the curb.
"Oh your girlfriend made fun of your grammar, time to dump her" nice train of thought.
Maybe 2 is right though. It's never a good thing when someone degrades/puts you down/makes you feel bad. Assuming this happens a lot. Every good relationship requires respect, or it IS NOT worth it.
I agree with 39, while a little ribbing and teasing is allowed, outright mockery of a person (to their face, no less!) is so rude and disrespectful!
6 seems to be correcting 1.
Oops, that was supposed to go in 6's thread.
Don't you think that's a little excessive? Granted we don't have any background info readily available.
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.
20: Yeah, and can claim she misheard you in case you didn't say should've like you should've.
#20-some people think contractions are not proper grammar, so either way he would be "wrong"
20 - it depends on how pronounced the "uh" between the "should" and the "v" was.
Look in the moderates. It is like grammar took the highway to hell and burned.
Not even FML worthy!
#3: lol
Doc, but you misplaced a hyphen! :p You are completely correct about this FML, however. The grammar Nazis have come out to play.
I just say here for about five minutes saying "should of" and "should've" out loud and they really do sound exactly the same. The girlfriend sounds like the kind of person who always has to be right even when she's not.
That hyphen is fine. It's not strictly necessary, but some people put that sort of hyphen in.
(Sarcasm inbound) OP should OF****
You're an idiot XD
That is the first time I've seen the word "Nazis" immediately followed by a smiley face.
Who are you correcting?...
76- *slow-mo opera plays* Bruuummm Bbrrruuuuuuummmmmm BBBBRRRRRRUUUUUUMMMMMMM!!!!!
76, correction-ception.
87- its called correption.
How did you say the same thing as the person under you, yet yours was the one no one agreed with?
The FML community is full of strange thumbers.
I think saying it is fine since it sounds like "should've." Your girlfriend sounds like a bitch, OP.
She shouldn't be calling him stupid and laughing at him, though. That's really mean. :(
16 - 'should of' is pronounced 'should ov' but 'should've' is pronounced 'should ugh-v'. Though really, it takes no extra effort to say 'should have' and a lot of people autocorrect and pronounce 'should've' as 'should have' anyway as, after all, we only abbreviate things to make them quicker/easier to say and there's not much difference between the two.
Yes. So little difference in fact that someone stopping to laugh at it in the middle of an argument must be a petty bitch.
126 - I never said OP's girl was justified. She IS a petty bitch, I'm not supporting her. I was just replying to 8 and 16.
Aww **** I can tell already this thread is going to be covered with douchey grammar Nazis.
If she really knows grammar, she should know that "should of" has no difference in pronunciation from grammatically correct "should've"
Some people have incredibly high levels of hearing. My grandmother could hear me listening to music on my iPod on the earbuds (volume 60%) whilst I was upstairs, and she was downstairs. I have no doubt that some people can hear the difference in should of and should've, especially when there's a slight pause in should of as opposed to should've being mashed into one.
Sorry but I think 'f' and 've' are pronounced differently. It sounds similar but it's not the same.
of = ov, 've = ughv
