I thought I'd started this thread before, but alas, maybe not.
The phrase "I could care less" is one of the most annoying and wrongly used phrases in the english language to me.
Everyone except for me says it wrong.
Think about it.
If you "could care less" it means that you care. If something doesn't matter to you then you "could not care less". Meaning that you don't care at all. And therefore, your level of caring could not possibly be lower than its current level.
Why does everyone in the country insist on saying it properly?
STOP IT!
