My favorite was the would of/would've bot.

I feel like I haven’t seen a single person use “could of” or “would of” here.

The defense on Reddit was always “NOT EVERY1 ENGLISH FIRST LANGUAGE”

I don’t have the largest sample size, but I’ve never met someone who makes this mistake whose first language isn’t English.

People whose first language isn't English (and especially people who apologize for their English) almost invariably type perfectly, lol
