The child turned 13 and all her T's disappeared. We now have 'wa"ah' for 'water' etc. I'm pretending not to notice coz that'd make it worse
Just people getting confused about the abbreviations for 'would have' and 'could have' - 'would've' and 'could've' - coz it sounds the same

That's what I figured too, just unsure about the cause

Also 'would of' etc renders the statement nonsensical does it not?

Yep. But people say it & don't often write it so it just becomes the norm.

Anyway, thanks for humuring one of my linguistic pet peeves

*humoring, damn it
