PG’s Tips - It's “have” not “of”

Using "of" instead of "have" in a sentence can be considered incorrect because "of" is a preposition, while "have" is a helping verb that is used to form verb tenses in English. In other words, "of" and "have" have different grammatical functions.

When people use "of" instead of "have" in a sentence, they are likely using a colloquialism or a commonly misused phrase. While this may be acceptable in informal speech or writing, it can be considered incorrect in more formal contexts, such as academic or professional writing.

Using "have" instead of "of" is considered more appropriate because it is grammatically correct and clearer in meaning. Using proper grammar is important for effective communication, as it helps ensure that the message is conveyed accurately and clearly to the reader or listener.

Overall, while using "of" instead of "have" is not necessarily "worse," it can be considered incorrect and may lead to confusion in certain contexts. It's always a good idea to use proper grammar to communicate effectively.

If you don't want to trigger me do not say “could of” because it's “could have” 😊 the former is just wrong.

PG Tips tea is a popular British brand known for its strong flavor and pyramid-shaped bags.

As my initials are PG, I have had the nickname PG Tips all of my life. It can get annoying, but as I drink tea by the gallon, I don't really mind.

I love a good brew, and PG Tips are one of the best.
