Just another example of poor English that is creeping in due to texting. The most irritating is the trend to use 'of' instead of 'have'.

Believe it came from the gangsta fraternity, I personally love to throw it into serious conversations when I make a point that people do not agree with.

Good times.

Oh, and to make it even better for you -it had bern further shortened to "My B" or "Ma B" amongst the less verbose of said fraternity. It can be quite lyrical when speaking to a friend "My B B"or added hoodesque "Ma B G"

Well, grammatically there's nothing wrong with 'My bad'. ;)

And some of our older members struggle with the of/have conundrum.

The 'of/have' things strikes me as accent based, not text based. It's certainly not a conundrum, though.

'My bad' is gramatically wrong. It's not a sentence.

Or could be mistaken for 'should've/would've etc.'

But people still confuse the two when communicating online.

It's certainly not a conundrum, though.

It obviously is for some folk. ;)

'My bad' is gramatically wrong. It's not a sentence.

It's no worse than saying 'My fault'.

Received an e-mail from a moderator in which he / she used the phrase "My Bad". I'm glad it has been explained above because I hadn't a clue what he / she meant. What's wrong with plain, simple English ?

I hate that, and immediately dismiss anything said which contains it.

I don't think that's down to texting though. I think it has come about because people tend to say "should've", "would've", "could've" etc...and when spoken, the "'ve" sounds like "of".

Thats nothing. You should see some of the notes in the note system at work.. Some are so bad no one can understand them.

Even worse is they can be used in a legal case.

Don't understand why people have a problem with 'my bad' it is quite a common phrase.

Should be owing to or because of.

Correct use of the word is due to arrive or due to to depart.
