I tried to correct someone's grammar and someone else wrote a multi-paragraph response on why "should of" is an acceptable alternative to "should have".

Best interaction of my life, unironically

The best part is their autocorrect changed it to "should have", so they said something like "should have is just as correct as should have"

Damn, I remember that discussion.

There’s no reason a civil discussion can’t be had, even when the other person insists on being confidently incorrect.

But it's really funny to watch, especially if both of them are wrong and won't back down

That's a post I'll want infinite scroll for!

Just curious, what was the main gist of their argument?

Kind of like the more proper "hell of" instead of "hella."
