Work In KC Area?

[Leonard, Phil]

My pet peeve is the use of "I've got..", "You've got...", "They've got..", etc.

My pet peeve is people who don't know the difference between your and
you're.

  I suggest that a bit broader education, which includes some English to go
along with the technical classes, would _have_ served you better yet.
You used the word 'of' four times above, and three of (heh) them should be
'have':

'would have known'
'would have just gone' (not 'went')
'would have been'

There.  I'm the freaking Grammar Nazi.
