they could of changed it

-- YouTube video comment on January 29, 2009

I normally don't include user comments from sites such as YouTube and Facebook, as people are generally writing quickly and aren't expected to be professional, but this one highlights a common mistake: could of instead of could have or could've. How can someone write it correctly and incorrectly just a few words apart? It boggles my mind.
