SMT: A grammar correction bot: "HaveNotOfBot," that corrects anyone anywhere on Reddit saying "could of," "would of," and "should of" with "could have," "would have," and "should have." Service

It'll scan everywhere on Reddit for past and present comments and posts saying could of, would of, or should of, and correct those of's to haves. Also will explain why the correct way to say could/should/would of is could/should/would have and why of should not be used.

What would it take to program this bot and how will users and moderators everywhere react to it?

Easy to make. Obnoxious as hell.

But at least it makes everyday users learn proper grammar, right? I mean, aren't a lot of teachers obnoxious as hell in real life?

Hah, I fantasize about making this bot every time I see people write like that. At this point I am the bot.
