HTH.
At least 'Should've gone', when spoken, is correctly punctuated, ironically.

So ignorant
Ed, I think you just did a far better job at making my point!

Baphs comments on my post made me laugh and I feel the same. I am fully capable of understanding despite a lack of grammar, I would just rather the writer make a bit of an effort.

Some of our typists at work don't put any grammar in at all. Most fraustrating when one is trying to amend it.

There is room for the odd slip up, keyboard stuck, wrong punctuation etc, but even those who have the odd guff up with spelling at least think about what they are posting.

Dizzy, I think you can be crowned as a fellow God. You can be the God of spelling, grammar and punctuation.
