I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but one of the things that drives me crazy is substituting “of” for “have”.

"I should of done my homework earlier"

SHOULD be:

"I should have done my homework earlier"

or...

"I would of invited her if she had been nicer to me"

SHOULD be:

"I would have invited her if she had been nicer to me"
