"Should of..."?
Proper grammar dictates the use of "should have" or "should've", but NEVER "should of"!

Does that count all of the people on top of the train and ganging on the outside?

Irma Rivera, We may not all be "perfect", but this is a written medium, so it would be helpful to know spelling and grammar to not appear ignorant.

billyboy915, OMGs!!! Thank you! I thought I was the only one who hated that "should of" thing! Where do these people go to school???? Another thing I hate is when people use apostrophes for plurals (as in: I have many cat's)! ACK!!!

I just went for the largest number as well, knowing that India had such a large population, and their high use of trains as a means of transportation.
