>But have you ever heard anyone use 'should of' pronounced as an 'f'? It's always sounded to me like 'should uv'. If Dragan is getting it with an 'f' sound, then that'd be why I didn't understand. I've never heard it said like that.
That's because you're hearing someone slurring the 'have' part of the phrase, making it into 'shoulduv' - which then gets parsed into 'should of' by some segments of the population.
