    So many people spell it incorrectly that I’m starting to worry that “sike” will become the official spelling. Language evolves, but I don’t want it to.

      Or “would of”, “could of”, “should of”. Enunciate your words. “have” and “of” sound different.

        Excellent point, but “would’ve”, “could’ve”, and “should’ve” sound like “would of”, “could of”, and “should of”.

        So the problem doesn’t lie solely in enounciation.
