As a non native English speaker, that is the grammar mistake that most baffles me in natives. Like, how does anybody think that “of” is the right word there, how does it make sense in their heads.
True 🦴🍎☕️ material, if it weren’t that absurdly common.
Should of is so much worse though. There/they’re/their I can excuse as being dyslexic or English as a second language. But should of/could of speaks to a deep problem. The person who types it does not consider what they say.

It’s like when they mess up they’re, their and there. It doesn’t make any sense until you read it out loud

Why? What’s the difference? In both cases a word is replaced by a similarly sounding word. Both mistakes are the same.
I think it comes from people shortening it to should’ve which then got warped into should of
Automatically screams “uneducated” to me. Such an easy thing to not get wrong.
