how ignorant are people??
It's pretty sad when American "adults" don't even know the proper use of "should have" or "would have/would've". Who the heck started this pathetic use of "should of" and "would of"? Is it the schools or are people really just that freaking retarded??!! I know immigrants that are more intelligent. Okay, rant off.

Actually, I was implying that I know immigrants who have a better grasp on the English language than some "Americans" choose to exhibit. That would be insinuating they are more intelligent, not stupid. Did you even read and comprehend correctly?

Yes, YOU'RE ignorant for not CAPITALIZING the thread title.
I've been both surprised and saddened when firefox or word puts a red line under a word I type. Mistakes happen, but I consider myself a decent speller and would like to keep that opinion of myself.
Let's not get into a pissing contest, it was stated that this was a rant kenzo42, so don't get too mad, and zoomin, if the rant is indeed off, don't insult him.

Secondly, b/c an immigrant has better grammar over a native speaker doesn't necessarily mean he/she is more intelligent. Education more than likely dictates this.
Regardless, this is a stupid thread.

I misspell ****, cuss all the time, and end sentences with prepositions. I'm also smart as hell but don't think I need to act a certain way in order to please people. If they can't handle it they can kiss my ***. People should be judged on their actions (how they treat others, etc) not how they talk or write. We have a holier than thou type at work that raised hell the other day when someone said "Holy ****". Come on, did it really hurt anyone to say that? She spent the rest of the day giving people the evil eye and moping. IMHO, her actions where 1000x worse than someone uttering that phrase. People need to get back to what is important. Just my $.02
FWIW, I don't think I have ever seen anyone write "would of". It sounds like it when they are saying "would've" but I am not sure I have seen it written in that way. In any event, it doesn't bother me in the least. THIS bothers me:

Grammar is an outward projection of one's intelligence. I say intelligence dictates a proper use of grammar.
