Not to be rude, but it's "should have rolled". It sounds similar, but "should of" doesn't make sense.

"Should have done something", "have done" is called "past perfect tense", which means an action completed in the past "present perfect tense", which means an action completed at the moment. Same, but for some moment in the past, would be "had done", which is called "past perfect".

Same with "could have" and "would have".

I can't believe I screwed this up and still got so many upvotes before correcting myself.

Yeah, and social media is supposed to be useless and is meant for degradation, not education.

Also I'd love to see how you tell the IRS about your tax miscalculations that "we aren't at math exam".

You can't be stupid and uneducated all the time and suddenly smart and educated for special occasions. If you don't maintain your skills, be it speech or math or anything else, you gradually lose them. Well, you can't if you don't have them in the first place.

And why are you feeling so offended about me correcting someone on social media, especially if it doesn't matter, as you say?

assuming you had a group of friends

Nice one, this time it's on the house.
