[Grammar Nazi]It's supposed to be "would have" and not "would of". Just because it *sounds* like it when spoken, doesn't mean it is written that way. Use your common sense! "Would of" makes no sense while "would have" makes a lot of it.[/Grammar Nazi]

Sorry, had to get that out of my system. It's a common error, especially among native speakers. Sadly foreign speakers pick up this error, believeing that the native speaker got it correct, even if it is not. So I think it's best to destroy it at the source.
