It's like when they mess up they're, their and there. It doesn't make any sense until you read it out loud
Should of is so much worse though. There/they're/their I can excuse as being dyslexic or English as a second language. But should of/could of speaks to a deep problem. The person who types it does not consider what they say.
Why? What's the difference? In both cases a word is replaced by a similarly sounding word. Both mistakes are the same.
