Well I wasn't calling out a particular person, or instance. It's just something that bothers me.

That's because you're assuming people writing (or saying) those expressions are trying to communicate in English. Once you realize it's a different language that happens to sound like English, it shouldn't bother you anymore.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Lol is this a cynical comment, or did it go over my head? I always assumed they were spelling out the sound of "could've" "would've" etc

That might have been true if they wouldn't spell it "could of, should of, etc."

I have expressed my opinion about the different languages phenomenon a few times on these forums.

How is "could've" pronounced any different than "could of"?

Pronunciation is not spelling. If you're going to spell everything phonetically you will get many bastardized variants.

Oh, I completely agree. I was just pondering the possible reason one might incorrectly spell the aforementioned words. And to your point, many spelling errors can be attributed to lack of phonetic knowledge, thus causing one to spell it out as it's spoken.
