Re: The wondrous intricacies of Grammar
There is no such thing as a "proper" word. There are merely words that are understandable and aesthetically pleasing to the originator and recepient of any communication.

You'd've sounds fine in spoken form so I'd use it (and indeed I do) - in written form it looks awkward so I'd avoid it.

English is a free language and there is no central authority which deems words "proper" or not - dictionaries recognise words already in common usage after the fact but do no more.
