Simon Pegg is the star in the reasonably priced car in this clip from Top Gear. Watch to find out what time he makes round the track and to hear his car story in the Top Gear studio.
If you look at it, … If you look at it, “would of” makes absolutely no sense, the only reason people make this mistake is because the spoken contraction “would’ve/should’ve” etc sounds like would/should of.
Though of is an adposition) and in shouldve , the ve is a contraction of have. I.e. ve and of have nothing in common, apart from maybe their pronunciation.
Anyhow, I did read somewhere that its now in fact gramatically correct to use these forms, i.e. in writing. Thus, incorrect terms via common usage have become correct.
But I feel your pain, I don’t like to see bad grammar. But I am human..
Sorry to be a dick … Sorry to be a dick here, but since you actually pay attention to grammar, I feel it would be nice of me to inform you that “should of” does not make any sense AT ALL. Should’ve or “should have” are what you’re looking for.

But it’s amazing how many types of grammatical errors have ended up being accepted in to the dictionary, or socially accepted.
And now you make me wonder how many people I know write should of/would of. Heh. [=
