The widespread use of "should of" instead of "should have" will result in the doom of humanity

This is truly an intriguing topic! I look forward to a thought-provoking debate. "We live in a world where our youth have role models such as Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Miley Cyrus, Snookie, and Honey BooBoo." Don't forget Justin Bieber, Amanda Bynes, Lindsay Lohan, and the worst male celebrity role model (according to the New York Daily News) Chris Brown [1]. "It is sad to see that they are losing the ability to write proper sentences." This level of tragedy has never been witnessed before in the history of mankind. There are no events so dangerous to human existence as teenagers writing improper sentences. "Selfie" is a natural evolution of language. Language is, after all organic. I agree that "should of" and the others are appalling. I have not seen something so disgusting since I opened Fifty Shades of Gray. Nothing, that is, except for one atrocity far greater in scope than 'should of.' I will argue that it is this tragedy, and not the 'should of, would of, could of,' that will bring about the doom of humanity. But first I will respond to the rest of my opponent's points. "The world needs future leaders who read classics of English literature and produce speeches and works of similar quality." I don't know. If someone was reading Wuthering Heights to me, I'd get bored pretty quickly. Do our speeches really need to spend pages upon pages describing sensory details irrelevant to their actual content? I love English literature, but for speeches and other matters of policy, I think clarity is more important. We don't need to obfuscate the windows; we need to board them up. I do not see what renewable and sustainable energy resources have to do with the debate at hand. Additionally, I can recall lyrics that are far worse, even if they make some grammatical sense. (No, I am not attacking these singers. Except maybe Justin Bieber). "Baby, baby, baby, oh!' - Justin Bieber "A** a** a** a** a** a** a** a** a** a** a** a** a** a** a**" - Big Sean " I be on my suit and tie, sh** tie, sh** tie" - Justin Timberlake "7 am, waking up in the morning, gotta get dressed, gotta go downstairs..." - Rebecca Black And many more. Now, let us reimagine the tragedy I mentioned earlier. This catastrophe is a butchering of the English language far viler than 'should of, would of, could of.' Perhaps it would be more accurate for me to say tragedies, as I can envision two massacres worse those provided by my opponent. 1: Commas. The gradual destruction of the comma poses one of the gravest threats to humanity itself. The usage of commas can save lives! Commas are the difference between: Let's eat, grandma! Let's eat grandma! In the first scenario, grandma survives. But as the comma gradually fades away or takes on improper usages, well, a lot of grandmas might start getting eaten. My opponent may argue that just because grandmas start getting eaten does not mean humanity itself will collapse. Very well. I shall provide another example. Russia nuked 20,000 people. Russia nuked 200,000 people. This at first seems like an issue of digits, but if the comma is misplaced, that forces another zero to be added (or taken away). 2: Your and you're; they're, there, and their. The merciless slaughter of the above words plagues the Internet. The sheer quantity of these mistakes are enough to end civilization and humanity as we know them. Because they are more common in speeches and great literary works, they have an even greater potential to strip our literature and poetry of their beauty and doom humanity to an infernal pit riddled with the graves of murdered words. I will provide another example. Germany and the USA are talking. Germany has just spilled his milk. USA: "You're sh**." Now, what the USA means is: "your sh**," meaning that the mess belongs to Germany. However, the USA instead insulted Germany. This insult could easily lead to the outbreak of World War III and end humanity. I believe I have sufficiently demonstrated two widespread misuses of language that are far more likely to doom humanity than 'should have, would have, and could have.' For this, I urge the voters to vote CON! [1] http://www.nydailynews.com...
