Grammar Nazi Vent: Could Have. Not Could Of. Could Have.
"He could HAVE done that". Not "He could OF done that." "I would HAVE told you." Not "I would OF told you." I apologize for this outburst. I couldn't contain it any longer.

2. could've would've and should've are all proper conjunctions right?
I think people just get confused when they type those words out.

"If he HAD gone to Seattle..." NOT "If he would have gone to Seattle...." I never heard this error until I moved to the Midwest, but it is everywhere here.

I tolerate poor grammar pretty well, but this one really gets me.

13. Here are a couple I don't like........
Unacceptable: "I done it now." Acceptable: "I done did it now." Or, "I done went and did it now." Unacceptable: "Look at them cows." Acceptable: "Look at them there cows." Also, I hate when people mispronounciate common English words.
