To me its closer to all the crack addicts blaming the people who dont use crack for their addiction and believing that if everyone else did crack they wouldnt be addicted.
After the iceberg has perforated the hulls…
The crew and a few passengers know they are taking on water and are trying to control the panic.
The elites already have plans to take every lifeboat.
And conveniently lock the poorer classes below deck…
Making it all the more insidious.
Great line,
It's a party on death row...
Funny.
Couldn’t of ?????? 🤦♂️
Couldn't have. Comes out like "couldn't've. But "of' is just plain wrong.
It depends on where the OP is from. In some parts of the country, especially upper Appalachia, some people do say, "couldn't of" and nobody bats an eye. It's not that uncommon to say that where I grew up.
English is probably not OP‘s first language.
Native English speakers are the very worst for using "of" instead of "have", "bought" instead of "brought" and similar lazy-isms. I have never heard a non-native do it ever, although of course they make other language mistakes.
It's a native speaker problem because we learn it by listening to people around us who pronounce "could/should/would have" like "of".
They just repeat what they hear.
If they read more (books, not youtube comments and forum posts) they'd notice it's wrong.
Non-native speakers learn from textbooks and not real life (in a lot of cases) so they're confused about the mistake. They make a whole ton of other mistakes that comes from learning from textbooks and not real life.
If both groups would read more novels or other real English many of these issues would go away.
