violet_sky Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Ohhh question, I have a question: I have come across that quite a few times now but always forgot to ask, so... (It's something especially Freddie likes to say btw ) I'm wondering about the 'of' in sentence fragments like: "....we should of had name badges...." or "... you should not of come in..." Is it kinda slang for 'have'? And as we're talking about the of-word already - what means 'as of late'? Lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it kinda slang for 'have'? And as we're talking about the of-word already - what means 'as of late'? Lately? Should of = bad English, bad, bad FD Yes Vi, it's slang for should have or should've. As of late does mean something that's happened recently for instance, we've had a couple of blogs as of late. Or as of late Mika has blogged twice a week, etc. So yeah, lately.
