I also hate it when people say and write might of. It's might've, a contraction for might have. I admit that if you're just writing and not thinking about spelling and grammar, it's easy to write the word, of, instead of the contraction.


This one is not a grammar gripe. This is definately a stupid thing people say without thinking because they feel so uncomfortable and have no idea what they should say thing. I hate it when people say (and I heard this a lot when my husband died) God never gives you more than you can handle. I won't go into all the reasons this did not make me feel better.
And "God has a reason for doing everything". I'm sorry for your loss.
