Bugs like this are meant to be mostly for technical discussion and aren't the most effective way of getting attention around this kind've issue.
Off topic: that "kind've" is interesting. It looks like a contraction, but it saves no space over the normal "kind of". Is that just a personal colloquialism of yours, or is it part of a regional thing, or...?
Probably a personal thing. I say the word aloud as if it were a contraction, and having never bothered to actually learn proper grammar, I figured it was fine since it sounded correct in my head.
In a similar vein, I get lazy with the word "milk" and pronounce it as "melk", and am the only person I know who does so. Apparently I'm broken. :D
I've seen it used before, which is why I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that it's possibly an evolutionary branch of the language. Being a grammatical error is the obvious answer, but not always the correct one.
