FC...I think you missed the point of what hispanarepublicana was saying, when he said, "Yes, Maybe you should have"....you made a grammatical error when you said, in your post, "Maybe I should of majored in English"...

You said "I should of majored"...thats incorrect...what you should have said was, "I should have majored"...the use of the words 'of' and 'have' are not interchangeable in this context...

I think some may presume that a writer would not make that mistake...

Oh no, I didn't miss the point. I just ignore terribly uncouth people who have nothing better to do than to point out grammar or spelling errors. It's such a sign of insecurity that people think they need to point things like that out. I do feel sorry for the dears, it might be all they have to make themselves feel superior.
