COULDN'T!!!!!!

[dslartoo]

The phrase is "I couldn't care less." Not, and this is important, not, not, NOT "I could care less." If you COULD care less, it means you do actually give a damn about the subject of your conversation. STOP FUCKING SAYING IT. STOP FUCKING WRITING IT.

This has been your grammar rant for today.

I say, "I could care less."

I follow it up with, "...but not very much less and I'd really have to try."

Love,

To be fair, I've purposely used "I could care less" in an ironic manner a few times :-) But then again, I'm nuts.

And next week, the real meaning of "literally."

Having heard it for so long, I can take it both ways. Sort of like "Near Miss." It isn't really a near miss, it's a near HIT, but I get what they're saying.

You know what gets my goat? "Irregardless."

Gesundheit; please don't spit on the floor.

I get that one right, but I am guilty of saying "irregardless" - I'm aware of it and trying to stop...

Thank you. I hate when people say "I could care less."
