Presumably, you mean that you could NOT care less. Sorry, that's one of
my pet peeves. I've always wondered how people get that exactly
backwards. ;-)


I'm with you entirely. But I also recognize that, wrong as it is,
"could care less" is so well-established that I've stopped complaining
about it. It was probably originally meant sarcastically, but these
days, most people don't mean it to be sarcastic, and probably don't
even realize they're saying it backwards.

No offense taken at my end. LOL

What it demonstrates is, the English language is constantly changing, in
a state of flux. At some point, you just have to go with the new.

If you want to seem some good examples of how English changes over the
years, go read some 120 year old newspapers. Sometimes, you just have
to read it 3 or 4 times to finally begin to understand what is being
written.
