LOL - I didn't even notice the "of" until "it's" raised its ugly
head.

"It seems that the meat glue might have raised its ugly head again."

Also:

"Did I offend your sensibilities with that word slippage, Princess?
Tough Shit.
Perhaps 'may' would have been a more appropriate word. What's your
opinion?"

Along with the apostrophe error, I believe the bigger issue is
misspelling the contraction for "would have" as "would of" instead of
"would've".

I am sure that this is what you meant, and you were so upset by the glued
meat that you were writing in haste. It happens to the best of us.

It's painful to read, no?

I think it's just Stu. I have a couple of Canadian pen pals and they
write beautifully.

I always judge spelling and grammar on a case-by-case basis. It is very
unfortunate, however, that there is such a pandemic of native English
speakers who can't spell or write grammatically correct sentences
anymore. I always dread doing group assignments in college, because it
means I have to proofread and/or rewrite everyone else's contribution.
My spelling and grammar isn't perfect either, but some of these kids in
my classes (all early to mid 20s) make our old pseudo-Australian troll
Andy look like a master of writing.

kids to get off his lawn*

No, they aren't.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist. With a setup like that, it'd be a sin
not to play up your subject-verb disagreement.

I'm not usually the grammar police but it just struck me the wrong way
at the wrong time. Any other time and it's ignored. lol
