Using, 'Should of', instead of, 'Should have'.

A great deal of intelligent people who simply have no concept of the English language in it's most basic form written form. Don't get me wrong, we're all guilty of typing too fast, making little typos but I'm being specific to clearly not understanding the difference in words - which words to use when.

I had to laugh at one of my FB contacts, holds a very senior position in work. He posted and was slagging off the girls from Essex for their bimbo-like status, ripping them to shreds about their lack of intelligence.

In different posts, he used the words, 'They're / there / their', and not once did he use them correctly. Ironic to say the least, funnier though was watching his mates posting the same type of thing - ridiculing these Essex girl types for being thick when these idiots couldn't differentiate between a few simply words themselves.

It doesn't annoy me but I never fail to be astounded at how many people display such ignorance to their own language!

Sorry what were you saying there?

That should be its, not it's.

It would be good to at least know the basic stuff yourself before you start moaning at others.
