@TokeArteest why does it bother people though? is it just snobbery? it's obviously "incorrect" if taken literally, but who takes it literally? its intended meaning is understood. it's no different from phrases like "taking the piss", for example, which is also "incorrect" in the literal sense, but whose meaning is understood.

@troglodyto Oh.. It's universally acceptable? I don't accept it. I correct people and then I enjoy looking at their face when they come to that realization that they've been using the common phrase wrong for so long. This bothers me as much as it bothers me when ppl rite lyk dis, u kno?
-
it doesn't bother me, because it's used so much that it's acceptable. i don't take it literally, i know it's intended meaning.

I hate this, people say it all the damn time and I always call them out. So stupid.

i assumed when i first heard it that it was sarcastic; i.e. in the manner that you would respond to someone asking you how the soup was, "it could be worse, i suppose" in saying that it was terrible. thus, "i could care less" has an implied sarcastic "i suppose" at the end. of course, it's probably just a linguistic accident with nothing to do with my explanation, but that's how i've always justified it in my head.

People defending "I could care less" are just upset at how ignorant they are. Sure, langauge evolves all the time, but this has not become "could careless" those who say "could careless" clearly couldn't careless about linguistics, as these people are ignorant fools.

i've heard enough of this "oh but its sarcasm!" shit. Fuck off. You're wrong. It doesn't make sense as sarcasm. It doesn't make sense at all.
The expression is "I couldn't care less".
Figure it out.
Rock and roll.
Deal with it.
