Thanks for clarifying that. And of course you're right, if grammar is of importance I wouldn't use contractions :P

If you're ever writing something where grammar is an issue, you shouldn't be using contractions in the first place.

That said, grammatically, "could've" and "should've" are fine as far as I know. MSWord does not consider them a misspelling.
Yes they are correct. Contractions of "could/should have." The error would be saying "could/should of" or "coulda/shoulda."

Ugh, I absolutely hate "should/could of". Just because that's what it sounds like when you say it fast doesn't mean it's right.

"Should/could of" could never happen to me. That doesn't make any grammatical sense whatsoever, even if it does sound like the spoken versions O_o
