> The expression "I'd of" or, more commonly, "I would of" *really* bothers me. The context for that is: "I'd of used proper grammar, except that I'm a doofus."

In all fairness, this isn't a mistake in grammer, it is a mistake in the transfer of spoken to written language. The expression "I'd of..." should properly read "I'd've..." which is a double contraction. It is not commonly accepted as gramatically correct in written language. However, it is widely used and accepted by modern society as a spoken phrase. And furthermore, since most people who chat on internet mediums are not exactly experts on grammer, capitalization, punctuation, spelling or any other aspect of written language(let alone MLA format! haha! I hated that stuff!), many such mistakes are made because they are misheard and then repeated in text rather than verbally.
