It's not stupid... more than likely you hear people say the contraction of would have (would've) or could have (could've) or should have (should've).

They sound like you're saying the word OF not the contraction.

My mother was an English Teacher and then became a Librarian.
I am a Librarian, and have been the teacher in charge of the District Spelling Bee for Scripps National Spelling Bee since 2000. If you want to be totally confused and confounded, you need to see and hear the words that the kids in the Scripps National Spelling Bee have to know and spell!

So, I'm good at spelling, but still lag behind in grammar a bit.
