You should of paid attention in English 101!

Indeed! You should have!

I consider this among the most embarrassing things a native-born English speaker can say. Okay. Every example of bad English I post on this site is embarrassing!

This is simple perfect tense (as opposed to past):

  • I should have gone.
  • You should have paid me what you owed me.
  • We could have met.
  • They would have survived if they had been prepared.
It's really pretty basic. Please don't make that mistake again!
