In general, I don't worry much about people's errors, but the "have" into "of" mistake is a little annoying. The problem is that it exposes a lack of awareness about how the language is built up, specifically that there is a connection, in tense and structure, between "They have gone" and "They could've gone."
Something that I of noticed as well is that some people are too quick to use the word "literally" to make a story sound more dramatic. Either they use it completely incorrectly, as in, "I was literally starving" or they use it when it is literally unnecessary.
