[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Should of instead of should have impacted instead of affected Also, dangling modifiers and dangling participles. A dangling modifier is when a descriptive phrase doesn’t apply to the noun that immediately follows it. A dangling participle is when an adjective is being used to describe the wrong noun in the sentence.[/quote] It’s not should have that you’re hearing, it’s should’ve which is a contraction of should have. [b]When people write it incorrectly, it’s because they are writing it phonetically - but they’re making the same basic mistake you are[/b].[/quote] I’m not making a mistake. People who write it phonetically/incorrectly are making a mistake. Also, I know the difference between when someone is saying the contraction (should’ve) and when they’re saying it incorrectly as should of. Yes, they sound similar but I can hear the difference.
