    My first cat used to sneak into my cupboard and sleep in there. I had no idea until one day I got home from work and was making supper. I reached into the cupboard to grab a plate and felt something big and furry instead.

    I (~must of~) must have sounded like a 10 year old school girl. Nearly ended up being an unscheduled laundry day.

    Edited to keep the grammar police happy.

      Must have*

      “Must of” isn’t a thing, and you should understand that without someone pointing it out. Same as “could/should/would of” isn’t correct. Learn basic grammar.

        You’re being unnecessarily rude, and you should understand that without someone pointing it out. Learn basic manners.

        Yeah. You’re a bit direct but I do need a person like you to point things up for something I did wrong unintentionally.

        However I wonder if any native speaker don’t realize there’s something wrong with these sentences. Even a non-native like me can see that. Maybe it’s intentionally done; they know it’s not correct but they just want to keep up with the wrong trend.

      Kitty isn’t actually eating Cheetos. This is a photo from a seance and they’ve connected to the spirit of the original Chester Cheetah. This is simply ectoplasm being expelled.

        What? You either need to be taking more or less of your drugs. But you are definitely not taking the right amount of drugs right now.

      They definitely know. My dog waits until I’m not around to get into the things she’s not supposed to have.

        Same with my cats and jumping on the counter. They won’t do it while I’m in the kitchen but as soon as I leave the room it’s a free-for-all.
