You can't really use but instead of and because they both have different meaning.

And has the meaning of addition:

Jon bought some meat and a bottle of wine.

And also has the meaning of 'and then'

Jon opened the wine and had a drink.

And also has the meaning of 'and so'

It rained and we all got wet.

But however shows contrast:

Jon eats a lot but never gets fat.

The car is old but it runs well.

Does this sentence use correct grammar You should of known better.?

NoThe sentence "You should of known better." derives from "You should've known better."; "should of" sounds about like "should've". Of course "should've" is a contraction for "should have" so the correct sentence is either "You should have known better." or (if speaking informally and using contractions) "You should've known better." Writing the sentence as "You should of known better." instead of "You should'veknown better." is INCORRECT.
