    It’s “could have”, amigo. Never, ever “could of”

    Wait, unless you want to say “Could ‘of’ be the word you’re looking for?”

    Ok in that one case. But that needs the little quote mark thingies. So no, never, ever “could of”

      I could of course say this as well. It’s clearer with additional punctuation like “I could, of course, […]”, but I don’t think the comma-free version is technically incorrect (anymore, if it ever was).

        Excellent example!

        I’m wracking my brains trying to think of another but I think you got the best one!

        Man’s helping you not look stupid and you’re calling him a troll, amigo.
