As much as I don't like pointing out spelling mistakes, I can't help correcting
people about this particular one.

After it's happened, you use "Ruby *has* continued". To say it was a
possibility, you use "Ruby would *have* continued" - the same verb in both cases.

Just because it sounds a bit like "of" when you say it doesn't mean a thing.
