anybody who replaceshave with of after a modal should have all genitals severed/mutilated by a rusty-chainsaw-wielding spacker.
I used to teach this to children - anybody who used of instead of have was sent into the babies classroom, and made to sing and dance (for everyone's amusement - an english academy where the walls were all made of glass)
