That one is the least offensible to me. Somehow 've in should've, could've, would've spun off to become "of." For whatever reason people forgot they are saying a contraction, and to started to believe they are using two words e.g. "should ... of" instead of "should've." It's like an un-contraction, and I personally find that amusing.
