As an “english as a second language” user, I can’t see myself writing e.g. “should of” instead of “should have”, however fluent I am. I think you don’t make that kind of typo unless you have learnt english before grammar.
- lolc 6y agoI was quite surprised when it started happening to me.
- harperlee 6y agoWow that’s interesting!
- simias 6y agoI also wouldn't do this one, but that's because in my English accent I simply wouldn't pronounce them the same way. Also the word sequence "should of" is extremely uncommon in proper English, so it catches the eye more easily I think. "You're/your", "their/they're", "its/it's" and the like are a different story, because I do pronounce those the same and they're all very common.
