“would of” instead of “would have” or “would’ve”
This error really shows poor basic education when done by a native speaker.
A normally educated native speaker should be able to distinguish between "have" and "of" even though both may sound similar when contracted in spoken English.
It's a different story for non-native speakers. But they often know even better because they've gone through their fair bit of studying grammar.
