| Apr 13, 2015 at 11:00 | comment | added | Damkerng T. | This is how I would understand it (which is probably not very different from your understanding): a) Dear Mom, you would have heard by now that I’m O.K. (= Mom didn't hear/know that), b) Dear Mom, you should have heard by now that I’m O.K. (= I expect, based on my knowledge and experience, that it's very likely that Mom's heard that. How likely is it? It's about somewhere between might have heard and must have heard.) | |
