Pet peeve: could have, would have, should have. In spoken language it's pronounced could've and the "ve" is perceived as "of" because the "f" and "v" sounds are voiceless/voiced cognates. I won't get into the whole discussion around I'd've because that would open up another can of worms.

minimum age? depends upon each sorority's constitution/bylaws. No universal age. ETA: thanks Titchou.
