Beverley Knight might have something to say about this one.

Anyway do people really get anything out of correcting grammar on and internet forum? It's such a waste of time and detracts from whatever the discussion is.

You wouldn't go down the pub and start correcting people on their grammar, or people at work. If you did you would look like a complete tool and be judged worse than the person you were correcting.

We need a 'should have', 'would have', 'could have' filter.

As well as a 'brought' filter.

Oh and to the suggestion by Jono

I don't think it's that annoying.

In speech you don't typically say could have, but could've.

Could've sounds exactly the same as could have. (Edit - oh ok not exactly the same.....!)

I can understand why it's a frequently made mistake.

What good is a spell checker when the words spelt correctly.

Only if it replaces them with "I'm an illiterate spastic".

5 mins later and I'm still giggling like a schoolgirl at this

Gah!

It's either "word is spelt correctly" or "words are spelt correctly"

 

[contracteur]

Seems appropriate.

Why not word's

It's not as annoying as that bloody Americanism "could care less". For some reason that winds me right up.

[Nick1881]

It's not something that bothers me nor have I notice before tbh.

I have to admit that I find the Americanism "my bad" irritating.
