Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent.

Off topic and by all means I don't intend to offend, I just have a genuine question for you english speaking natives since I'm spanish/german: why do you guys keep saying "should of" or "would of"? Isn't it "should have" and "would have"? I don't understand the meaning with "of", of what? Please don't flame me, as I said before I don't intend to be grammar nazi, I'm just in doubt, thinking I have it wrong.

You're absolutely right. Sometimes when we speak, "should have" ends up sounding like "should of" and then this gets put into typing. Similar situations happen when people say, "it don't" instead of "it doesn't." Always remember that even though we may have a native language, we aren't by any means perfect. I'm sure you can relate with people who speak Spanish/German as their first languages.

I think "should of" is based on the way the contraction "should've" sounds. To those of you typing out "should of", please get it right.

Bebe, it's also dialect from where they're located. It can be confusing. I wonder if the Cajuns type in their dialect ������

English has a lot of slang phrasing. Technically, "should/would have" is correct, but people use "should of" or "shoulda" to shorten it.

I goofed hard just now at the beginning of Stone vigil on my DK. Apparently I messed up my inventory while I was looking at a new set of armor and equiped level one shorts. They were glamoured so I didn't catch it right away. wipe at the first boss later I read the chat and see the monk pointed it out. I fix it as fast as I can but the damage is already done. I don't know how I messed that up, like forreal. To that monk if you come here... I SWEAR I wasn't trying to do that on purpose. I feel horrible about that mistake. Almost enough to quit tanking and stay on my monk for a bit. Tanking is fucking scary. I say that as after that I kept dying even when I was trying to keep my cooldowns up and defenses. So I'm taking all the blame for the many deaths in there, never tanked before in my life and dungeons up to stone vigil aren't that bad. Going to seriously think about my life choices right now. Might have to stick to monk and call it a rap.

Don't be discouraged. It sounds like you sincerely apologised to the group after the wipe and if the monk couldn't accept that then he was a bit of a douche. Just need to get back in there and make sure to never make the same mistake ^^, FIGHTING hehe.

No noone was being mean - least not in party chat anyway.- I just feel horrible I made that mistake.. like hardcore horrible. I just cleaned out my bag of any and all unwanted items so that doesn't happen again. Fixed my set gear sets for DK and everything. Like oh my god... That just felt horrible. I've never done anything like that on my monk before so this is like a huge slap in the face. Currently going to train on the dummies later and run a lower dungeon as DK to see where I can get better. Right now tho I just need to fix my pride and punch things in the face on my main. I hope noone in that group hates me for that run. This is why I also don't go too hard on new people when I'm on my main. Cause we all make stupid mistakes. I'll keep trying tho, but this stings like alot, and I normally have thick skin on most things.

Allright! Thanks guys, you helped me a lot with this. And yes, spanish and german have also a few slang phrasings too, I never thought of seeing it that way and got me very confused.
Thank you <3 Who needs language teachers when you have the FF14 comunity hehe
