"I assume you had the teacher taken out and shot?"

He certainly should have.

Come to think of it, if we are to accept that modern usage replaces "have" with "of" (and I am having a bit of trouble accepting that, but never mind), how are we supposed to indicate the abbreviated form in written English?

For example, I can write "she should've been shot" and that would be fine, but I have yet to see anyone write "she should'f been shot".
