I Could Care Less
So I recently (ish) discovered that some Americans say "I could care less" even though they mean "I could not care less"....

I COULD care less but i'm so beyond caring at this point that I don't really see any benefit to caring any less whatsoever.
Stating that I couldn't care less means that I cared enough in the first place to minimize my caring all the way down to zero which is way more attention than this deserves. Hence the term.. I could care less. Thanks, -Icculus |

The statement actually needs an identifyer, such as "I could care less, but it's not worth the effort." or "I really couldn't care less." The latter of which is indicitive of lacking the ability to care less. I'll grant you, with typed text, the varient of meaning is difficult to assertain. Of course, this could be said of many statements.

You're asking for this out of people that have problems with "too, to, and two."

Or you're, your, or they're, their, there
Or pronounce it aks, instead of ask (This one drives me nuts) |

The English language is the problem, not the speakers.
