Might have, brother. Might have.
Why do I see this online so often? Is it an educational thing? Is it an auto correct thing? Or something other? I am not a native speaker, so I have no clue how this happens.
My understanding is folks tend to gravitate towards that because it's indeed very close to might've and whatnot phonetically. My anecdotal experience as a non-native speaker is we tend to be less affected since we usually tackle speaking and listening more seriously after we've already familiarized ourselves enough with writing/reading, grammar and vocab.

Pretty much the tl;dr here, yeah 🤣
It blows my mind as well. My native language is Spanish, but for me it's way easier to follow language rules properly in English. May have something to do with the fact that my native language is my regular language for expression, so I don't pay much mind to how I use it, but English being a second language, I actually try to make sure I'm understood. Anyway, that's what I think could potentially be the reason.
Yes no maybe I don't know 🎶
Can you repeat the question.
Lol. Good to see I'm not the only one that sees the impact in not using proper language rules 🤣
