    Completely off topic. Shouldn’t it be “couldn’t care less” as there is no possible way for you to care less than you do about the topic. Over “could care less” stating that you do care and you could actually care less, we don’t know how much you currently care, but we can assume it’s more than 0.

    Not trying to be pedantic, generally interested in the right phrasing as I’ve heard both and that’s how I personally interrupt it.

      It is correctly spoken as “couldn’t care less” but dumbasses who don’t think about what words mean changed it to “could care less” to the point that this is basically the idiom, as idiotic and nonsensical as it is.

      Honestly, I don’t know lol. I didn’t put a lot of thought into it. You are probably right.

      People get really balled up about that. It’s funny to me. I think:

      • Couldn’t care less <- Absolutely lowest level of care
      • Could care less <- It’s possible to care less, but I still don’t care much
