Alrighty, for those of you out there who like to use the phrase I could care less, it's supposed to be I couldn't care less. "I could care less" means that you actually do care, and the phrase itself holds very little meaning because you can care less about anything you do already care about. It's very ambiguous, and doesn't convey how much or how little you care about something. Still following me? "I couldn't care less" means that you care so little about something, it's impossible to care even less about it. 99% of the time, "I couldn't care less" is the phrase that's supposed to be used. Get me? Good ![]() "It's "complaintant," you sniveling weasel." (Roger Wiseman on spelling complainant.) |

This is a vain attempt bull**** flushed, get a Manual of Style, stupid Of, course it is, you're incapable of little else. -- Saggytits Lee aka Lloydie Davies steps on his own tiny dick when he tried to correct somebody else's English use first by saying one "operates" a dictionary instead of reading it, then uses "things" instead of "thinks" in : "Translation: Woger can't figure out how to operate a dictionary, let alone correct someone else's language.But that's not surprising from someone who things that..." Saggytits Lee manages to fumble again when he tried to backpedal on his improper use of words by once again mangling the sentence in reply : "The word "operate" can be a synonym "use" in certain contexts" |

Actually it's:
The American Heritage=AE Book of English Usage. A Practical and Authoritative Guide to Contemporary English. 1996. 3=2E Word Choice: New Uses, Common Confusion, and Constraints =A7 78. could care less / couldn't care less I could care less! you might say sometime in disgust. You might just as easily have said I couldn't care less and meant the same thing! How can this be? When taken literally, the phrase I could care less means "I care more than I might," rather than "I don't care at all." But the beauty of sarcasm is that it can turn meanings on their head, thus allowing could care less to work as an equivalent for couldn't care less. Because of its sarcasm, could care less is more informal than its negative counterpart and may be open to misinterpretation when used in writing. 1 The phrases cannot but and can but present a similar case of a positive and a negative meaning the same thing. For more on this, see cannot under Grammar. Source: http://www.bartleby.com/64/C003/078.html Again, out of many times, sarcasm swoops over the malformed bald head of Lloyd Davies. Taken literally, if one could care less, then one must care at least a little, which is obviously the opposite of what is meant. It is so clearly logical nonsense that to condemn it for being so (as some commentators have done) misses the point. The intent is obviously sarcastic-the speaker is really saying, "As if there was something in the world that I care less about". |
