No, it wasn't and I didn't ask for the grammar lesson but thanks anyway.

Absolutely. If she hadn’t, I would have.

WHY is it so hard to understand that “would/could/should OF” makes NO SENSE?

A simple grammar lesson: Drop the would/could/should and say the rest of the thought that accompanies your “of”.

“I (would/could/should) OF cried.” Does that make ANY sense to you? Now put the RIGHT word in there, HAVE:

“I (would/could/should) HAVE cried.” THAT sentence stands as a grammatically correct sentence, even without the would/could/should.
