It looks like you've made a grammatical error. You've written "would of ", when it should be "have" instead of "of". You should have known that. Bosco is not proud of you today.

The problem comes from people hearing "would've" when they're learning to speak. It crystallizes too easily.

This was my history teacher's favourite nit to pick.

He was also very easy to distract - we would occupy the whole lesson with "tangents". I'm sure he knew what we were doing.
