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!

If you are going to overthrow the government, you should at least learn the meaning of the words you speak, Mr. Nichols.

So sue me because I didn't pay attention is school. It was a public school and really bored me to death, with all the mindless crap the teachers droned on and on about.

this is the only matter on english that galt understands so he has to make an issue of it every chance he gets.
I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.

yes, light boy. You are way more educated than I am.
And, Mad, I'm not singling you out. I went to public school as well. It's not like "supposubly" where only stupid people say it wrong. EVERYONE says it "I could care less". I don't know why. Am I wrong? Am I the only one who is taking the phrase litterally?

Well, actual college graduates need to speak to people from the University of Phoenix in a brief manner so we can be understood.

careless and "care less" are different.
Saying, I could be careless and I could care less are not even close.

misused comma. Lack of quotation marks to delineate the stressed phrases.

I need no excuse to point out that while you start a thread to correct other people's use of the english language, your mastery of the language is less than average.

speaking and going back to correct drunken ramblings is different.
Drunk or not: people misuse this phrase all the time! Debate that! Does that phrase make sense or doesn't it? And 90% of the people who speak the language say "I could care less" when it makes no fucking sense logically.

Your, "I'm drunk", defense is lame, you pathetic, sociopathic freak.

You are skirting the issue that everyone fucking says "I could care less" when it's just wrong. Don't make me kill someone to make you pay attention.

i get joy knowing that you have to sit in front of your computer, alone and drunk. the lack of friends and love in your life makes mine that much more complete.
