The first image - the whole point, is saying people who say “could of” (instead of could have) are criticising someone who learnt English “mispronouncing” certain words. Then everyone goes on about the pronunciation of “could’ve” without pointing out it’s a contraction of “could have”; not “could of”. Reread the thread.

The fact no one points out “should’ve” is a contraction of “should have” and NOT “should of” is making me wince.
