Should be *could have*.

The headline is enough to discourage any more reading.

Writers need to be better at grammar, and an editor should have caught a gaffe like that.

“Should be *could have*”

my typo, maybe editor can fix

The editor should of caught the error ;)

In my past life I used to review/proof a lot of military police reports and later, private investigator reports. It's a common error and I think people are thinking in contractions (I.e. "could've"; "should've," etc.) and then transcribing what they hear in their heads.

The original headline was correct, “could have”. Looks like this was a FReeper error.

“”Should be *could have””

I only got as far as your reply to see if anyone caught it. It’s a common mistake and it sure makes one wonder where those who make it received their education or didn’t bother!!!

I feel the same way when I see errors like this. Whether it’s from a news site, or an individual, I’m caused to think that the article or comment is probably not worth reading.

Should of been “have”.
