Properly used, conjectures are spelled with apostrophes (couldn't, don't, etc.). With that, people talk in double conjecture terms, so why wouldn't it also be grammatically correct to use double conjecture punctuation (couldn't've - couldn't have - could not have, wouldn't've - wouldn't have - would not have, etc.)? I mean, it makes sense, right?
