>>> "...should OF..." <<<

No editors, no software even, nothing caught such an obvious grammatical error???

Should 'OF' -- should be: should "HAVE"

OF is a preposition, not a verb.

This also makes me crazy! A whole generation has lost the concept of contractions and probably shouldn't be trusted with them!

Drives me crazy, too....

I wish they'd just write, "should've" at least it's the correct contraction and eliminates the error. :)

Yep. That bugs me too. I’ve also seen folks on FR use ‘another words’ instead of ‘in other words’. I blame texting. ;o)
