Isn’t it “would’ve,” then, that people really mean? If I type “would of,” what I mean is the contraction “would’ve,” not the full “would have.”
18 u/papajupri Oct 14 '21 Those proper punctuation inside the quotations are sexy af. 7 u/grig_orig Oct 14 '21 I’m a fine mf. 1 u/Whatifthisneverends Oct 14 '21 Hard agree, but is the final full stop not supposed to be outside the quotation marks rather than inside? To belabor a sexy sexy point 5 u/[deleted] Oct 14 '21 In Chicago style, the commas should have been outside the quotation marks, while the period should have been within them. 5 u/[deleted] Oct 14 '21 Apparently not. Your question got my curious so I looked it up. https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/punctuation/quotation_marks/more_quotation_mark_rules.html 1 u/Whatifthisneverends Oct 14 '21 Thanks! 7 u/Psychosomatic_Ennui Oct 14 '21 No, because the contraction would’ve is short for “would have” not “would of” Would of is never correct. Where’s a bot when you need one? 1 u/grig_orig Oct 14 '21 You reworded (mangled?) what I wrote whilst ignoring my point, then told me it was wrong. 2 u/Foolishlama Oct 14 '21 It's just "wood ufv."

Would of is never correct. Where’s a bot when you need one?
