As in, I would of been on time if I had woken up earlier. Come on people, it's have been, not of been!! "Of" is a preposition, not a verb!
YEAH, and a preposition is something that you should never end a sentence up with. :scared:
Texan professor and an Oxford professor are chilling at a conference bar. The Texan professor, bored, looks to the Oxford professor and strikes up a conversation.
"So there partner, where y'all from?"
Oxford prof. replies, pushing his glasses to his nose: "Well, in reply to your query, I hail from Oxford. In addition, where I come from, we never end our sentences in a preposition."
The Texan prof. blinks once, shrugs his shoulders and drawls, "My apologies! What I mean to say is 'where y'all from, asshole?'"
so it means that "where are you from?" is incorrect?
