Excellent point, but "would've", "could've", and "should've" sound like "would of", "could of", and "should of".

So the problem doesn't lie solely in enounciation.

If you think "of" and "have" (or it's contraction) sound alike, you're part of the problem. "Of" has a softer finish more like "ovf" than "ov". The transition from 'o' to 'f' starts hard with a 'v' but finishes with a soft 'f'.
