After Jim and Pam’s wedding it could of ended, the quality was already going on. The only redeeming thing to me after Steve Carrell left was Robert California and even then I could of done without that.
People think it’s “of” because the contractions sound like it. “Could’ve” sounds like “could of”, but it doesn’t make any sense (of isn’t even a verb at all) and a lot of people don’t even think about what they’re saying.
This is one of my biggest pet peeves tbh it’s like grade 3 level English and so many people get it wrong. 90% will get extremely defensive about it as well “I dIdNt ReAlIzE tHiS wAs An EnGlIsH eSsAy”
I wasn’t even rude, just gave information. Wtf is your problem here? Do you just hate communicating properly, and sharing information? Honestly don’t get the reaction.

Could HAVE. Never “of”
Could have/could’ve
Should have/should’ve
Would have/would’ve

Exactly. See the other reply to my comment.
It’s ALWAYS native English speakers that fuck it up too. My dumbest mates always hit me with the “of” and it’s baffling.
