  1. GBMT,
    When you write "would of" and "could of", you should be writing "would
    have" and "could have". These two phrases are commonly written and
    spoken as the contractions "would've" and "could've", which probably
    explains how people get mixed up in writing them, because the "ve"
    sounds like "of".

    And 'alk' sounds like 'ock' if you're not Scottish.

    Sometimes that construction has come in handy:
