At a more mundane level, "should of" instead of "should have" is
becoming ubiquitous.
A furniture store near me sells "Sofa's Chairs, and table's"
apparently.
At my local builder's merchant I recently asked if they had "free
doors" in stock. They said they had, so I said I would take 4 of them.
Another time, while ordering some 4x2 timber they asked me what "lemf"
I wanted. I said I had no idea as I didn't know what a "lemf" was.
And why do so many builders refer to length, width, and highth?
