gemma86 Â Â 10 #4 Posted March 8, 2007 It's like when people type "am" instead of "I'm" or "I am". I know someone who did it years ago and I thought it was because they weren't too good at spelling anyway and couldn't distinguish it, but a lot of people seem to do it online these days...

Guest   #5 Posted March 9, 2007 Give us an example ? "I was so angry, I could of slapped him" vs. "I was so angry, I could have slapped him".  "Could of" sounds a bit like "Could've", the abbreviated form of 'could have', which is possibly where the error creeps in when writing the phrase.

rubydazzler   11 #8 Posted March 9, 2007 It's not Sheffield particularly, I'm sure it started down South and then gradually crept up here via East Enders or imported by students or something ....  The first time I ever heard it was when I lived in London ... honestly!
