Writing • Grammatical Ignorance

I just have to rant. I see so many people writing "should of" "could of" "must of" etc. Goddammit, people, it's SHOULD'VE, COULD'VE, or MUST'VE. I see it mainly on Youtube and IG comments and it just annoys the hell out of me. Is this what passes as acceptable grammar these days?!?
A lot of grammatical mistakes, etc, likely come from people mishearing things and then typing them out accordingly. "Could of" and "could've" sound alike, after all. In the grand scheme of things, those examples are pretty minor.
Or when people say something like "I have a Instagram account" instead of "I have an Instagram account". I'm not trying to be a grammar nazi but damn, why is grammatical ignorance so acceptable?!
Why would anybody say either of those things? I can see somebody saying they DON'T have one, but usually they'd just mention their IG.
