When you are dealing with parking companies, POPLA (or IAS) and possibly a court hearing and learned judges, it is important to be accurate. Please explain how it is rude to point out errors.Jenny.W said:

To tell someone of their “horrible grammar” is rude regardless of the situation. No need for it, there are better ways to explain.... and to put things into context, we’re chatting on a forum, I’m not in front of a judge0 -
The problem is that ''should of'' is so very awful that it grates and drives us all mad. I've seen it from children but no adults should be typing 'should of'.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
