Trivial errors can slip through the cracks easily. For example, people sometimes misspell “would’ve” as “would of” even if they actually know that the latter spelling is actually incorrect. Pointing fingers is easy after the fact, but spotting every possible error all of the time – no one is able to do that. I’ve even made that very same spelling mistake you did a time or two myself even though I try really hard to be correct in spelling and in all aspects of grammar, and even though I am well aware that “would of” is just plain wrong. We all slip up, and sometimes we do so in embarrassing ways. Especially when we are lacking sleep or when we are otherwise exhausted.
