I’m glad you posted this. I hear it the wrong way so often that I almost start saying it wrong myself. Next time I hear someone say it the wrong way I just might have to point them towards this post

I do like the way you ended this post. It was a great transition and application. Although, I can’t take your advice because I couldn’t care less about the latest holiday drink at Starbuck’s.

My wife is one that often uses this incorrectly. Whenever I correct her, she just gives me “the look” and says that I know what she means.

Nice way to wrap up the post too.

*smirk* I know a few people who STILL say the “I could care less” im talking to one right now… and corrected her… now she “couldn’t care less” about what I am explaining to her..

Haha, nice one Michael! Way to set the record straight.

I prefer the eloquent ‘I don’t give a f*ck’ when stating my lack of care for something. It’s cheap, I know.

I came here ready to scold you for improper usage, and I was relieved to see it was a lesson instead in proper usage. I should have known better.
