[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Peeve: "I could care less." That is INCORRECT! If you COULD care less, then why don't you? The correct phrase is: "I COULDN'T care less!" (i.e. you care so little about something that it is impossible to care even less than you do).[/quote] Idiomatic usage. [/quote] No. Just people who don't know what they are saying.[/quote] No one who says "I could care less" is misunderstood. You don't have to like it, but don't pretend you don't understand.[/quote] Of course I understand what they intend. They people who are speaking are the ones who don't know what they are saying! They are saying that they COULD care Less... meaning they still care to some degree. What they intend as their meaning is that they could NOT care any less than they do right now. So, THEY are the ones who don't listen to what is coming out of their mouths or they simply do not understand logic.[/quote]
