Ross Ulbricht, who was apprehended at a public library while logged in to various accounts. As I recall a plain clothes agent distracted him while others then tackled him.
According to the book "American Kingpin", they had worked their way into the administration staff for the Silk Road, and used the site admin IM chat to ensure that he was using his laptop and actually signed into his account before rushing him in the library.
Other English speakers I know complain about our orthography: bought, caught, draught, etc. But, yet, here we are with a “word” pronounced “of” and spelled “‘ve”! Now that’s awful orthography!
In my household I'm the English nerd, although I have no degree behind it. I'd correct my wife when she wrote "would of" but then I listened closer when she talked: She wasn't saying "would've" she was saying "would of".
That's when I gave up. There are a million other reasons to love my wife, and her proper use of 'would've' wasn't one of them to begin with :)
She does not. They are the same to her. We're also native speakers from the Reno NV area, which is heavily influenced by Sacramento and San Francisco language.
others have covered the correct full form, but to the issue of the pronunciation, it's not pronounced "would of" it's MISpronounced "would of". You can make any weird confusing pronunciation you want out of anything if you're willing to say it "wrong". The correct pronunciation of the contraction, as another hinted at is basically "would have" without the h and the a becoming an sound "uh" instead of an "ah" sound.
After that incident I basically wrote this program in java that monitors a usb port for a device with a given ID. If it does not find it then it locks the computer.
("would've", not "would of")
