Should "of" taken English 101.

Ok, you have stumped me. Why is the "of" in quotation marks? The sentence I began with "Should of" is a fragment sentence, but I believe the "of" part is correct. Unfortunately, I must admit, my mother is a high school English teacher and all four of her sons cannot tell a adverb from a pronoun. We remain productive in society only with the assistance of the spelling and grammer checkers available on word processors today.

What Mr. Grammar Guy was getting at is that your statement should properly have begun with the phrase: "Should
have." I'll go one further, your statement should properly have begun with the phrase: "Should have
gone." But hey, I'm just an upstart, wannabe Mr. Grammar Guy, filling in during the holidays
