Ok but “melty” isn’t a real word and I’ll die on this hill
even if it’s a real word I hate it

It doesn’t need to melt. Many cars look melty

Neither is “ask” as a noun. You don’t have asks, you have requests.

I don’t care about melty, but “would of” will never be right no matter how many times people say it.

People don’t say “Would of”, they just miswrite “would’ve”

People sure do say would of. They even separate the words enough to make it clear, like you or I would separate would and have when we don’t want to abbreviate
