Well, if you're a native english speaker, they can have very much the same sound when speaking quickly, as you drop the 'H' in 'Have' and pronounce the 'A' similarly to the 'O' in 'Oven'. But regardless of the ease of mixing up the SOUNDS, the MEANINGS are so different (preposition vs. verb...REALLY?) that I'm definitely with you guys in saying that mixing the two up (of vs. have) is a horrible and unforgivable mistake :P
Wem420, quit smoking so much pot - it's making you stupid.
Not stupid just natural slang. I neber smoke. Omky way to stop my seizures/epilepay is to eat it. Nothing wrong woth gettingb your point across!!! Especially around people it that live in your countey... oh wait :p :)
Should of sounds perfectly fine to me. Should of responded then :)
I'm pretty sure that the "of" sound doesn't come from should have, but from the contraction, should've. It sounds like "shuh dove". No one actually says "should have" informally, they all say should've.
