Should that be write correctly youself Terry? hehehehehe lmaoTerence wrote:If you are going to lecture others on how to write then the least you can do is make sure that you write properly yourself. Shortened version of words are for conversational use.E wrote:Terence wrote: You mean would have? Plus 'that'?
Typing error on the 'that' of course...but it is perfect grammar to put 'would've' - this is the shortened version of 'would have', hence the apostrophe and why many people make the error of writing 'would of' as phonetically they sound very similar.
Spelling error, you should be more vigilant, or less finicky. Is E short for Erroneous?

1. 'Would've' is a perfectly acceptable shortening of 'would have' - it is used in written English, not just in conversation.
2. Besides conversational shorthand, familiar wording etc is perfectly acceptable on message boards - we are not writing fvcking (sic) prose.
3. Bearing point 3 in mind, poor spelling and nonsensical English are however unacceptable. Case in point: 'should of' is just completely meaningless and makes the user look retarded.
