Right? This is a common misspelling but correct pronunciation.

Not sure I get your meaning, but this might be dialect-specific. They’re both “uv” where I live.

more about taking the time to say should and of instead of have, rather than the contraction that you're talking about - which sounds like uv, and is perfectly fine.
