You're dad should of pulled out.

Because "should of" is how people verbally tend to state the phrase. Yes it is annoying, but not a huge deal.

should have should be dominate

The sound of the contraction would be my guess.

You should've learned what the contraction for should have is.

People get confused because they sound the same.

Did people forget that phonetic spelling doesn't fricking work in English?

I've never understood the "sale" vs "sell" thing. Who told these people that was the correct way to grammaratize things?

You are just bias

It's somewhere between eggcorn and homonym.

sale = noun
sell = verb
sell = verb

Should've : should of

Because we are from the South and have no desire to sound like we are from New Jersey.

I know, right? I can't believe it myself. I mean, it's so easy.
Like, who uses "should have," ya know? I'll tell you who, people who maybe know what they're doing! ... Right?
Because maybe those who use "should of" also know what they're doing, too. Right? Like 50/50 chance that they're not stupid. Wouldn't you say?
Go ahead and tell these idiots which way is the correct way. Those of us who totally know which way is the right way don't need to bother with it.
