If you say "I could care less" you are saying that you care at least a little bit because you have the ability to care less. How is this not fucking obvious to people? It is simple linguistic logic. Have public schools really made Americans that stupid? Quoting: I'm May Exactly, I can't stand it when people say/post it the wrong way. |

This isn't a grammar issue as the sentence "I could care less" is 100% grammatically correct. It's a usage issue. As a non-native speaker I got very confused some time ago which one is correct since I suddenly started seeing "could care" everywhere eventhough I'd always thought it's "couldn't care". Sure the latter is more correct from the logical standpoint but language doesn't always follow the rules of logic. Oh, and there's that: "In the early 1990s, the well-known Harvard professor and language writer Stephen Pinker argued that the way most people say could care less—the way they emphasize the words—implies they are being ironic or sarcastic."

| Mr. D User ID: 4603964 United States12/20/2013 05:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "I could care less". Though not wholly interested, there are other subjects that the person cares less about. "I couldn't care less". There is no other subject that the person making this statement could care less about. That means it is the subject that the person cares least about. That is how I understand it. |

User ID: 26646007  Canada12/27/2013 04:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here's a common one that's annoying. "should of", "would of" and "could of" instead of the correct "should have". "would have" and "could have" Patriotism is supporting your country always -- and your government when they deserve it. Mark Twain Those who beat their swords into plowshares usually end up plowing for those who kept their swords. -Benjamin Franklin |
