Never was a fan of someone always using "LITERALLY" in everything they describe to people.

"I LITERALLY just typed that...." Yeah no shit. Goes without saying....

I can tell you exactly why. They're not substituting "should have" with "should of"

It's should've.

Literally can be used as an intensifier and has been used as such for centuries

You know, I get that language is always evolving and sometimes rules become obsolete and words change. Even different dialects or whatever from place to place. But this drives me crazy more than anything else in English.

The problem is that people hear "would've" and think the person is saying "would of."

Perhaps the issue is no child left behind policies in education and underfunding education

on the other hand, perhaps the issue is grammar nazis, since a sentence is fine so long as the point gets across

It has literally nothing to do with education or a lack thereof.

And this is fine, as long as you recognize the irrationality of that irritation and don't let it drive you to linguistic prejudice. I'm as descriptivist as they come but I have my small pet peeves.
