# They probably should be, otherwise they're in the wrong profession.
It just gets to me, I don't see how people could think it's 'of' as that makes no sense. You don't say 'I of been to Tesco' do you?

But then we've all got niggly things.

# well grammar like everything in the english language is constantly evolving
written grammar on an internet forum will usually be of a far lower standard than that used in say, an essay, because its faster,
its just a trend within the evolving conventions of internet language.
provided it makes sense, its achieved the point of language, to pass on information, grammar is just to aid that along.
