    Common 'mercan speech. It's like saying "gonna" when you mean "going to".


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    "Gonna" is cool since it's like a made-up short-hand like an unofficial "don't" instead of "do not".

    "Should of" is just wrong. It's not a short-hand, but an error.

    Other examples: "Try to do" vs "Try and do", "I done it" vs "I did it OR I'd done it"

    That stuff all happens commonly in Australian speech too. I was just amused that they slipped up at the end after trying to make the video all professional and serious and everything.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
