Why natives use "of" instead of "have"

This is the second time I am seeing something like this. This sentence is written by a native English speaker:

It looks like it's worked. I thought you must of fixed it.

1- It seems wrong to me, please correct me if I am wrong.

2- If it is wrong, why do they use of rather than have?

3- If it is informal language, is it ok to use it in emails, etc...?
