One thing that irks me is when people say the terminology

'I could care less'

 

The correct terminology is

'I couldn't care less'

 

'I could care less' just makes no sense. If you could care less about something, then all you're telling us is that you do care, at least a little bit. Because you COULD care less. But if you couldn't care less means you don't care at all and if you wanted to care any less about it you couldn't because it's out of your 'caring spectrum.' You are so low on the caring bar-chart, as it were that you could not care less. If your caring is at 0%, then you couldn't care less.

 

Thank you for your time.

ok i will explain this whole punctuation thing. i am very uneducated. i hated school and dropped out as a freshman in highschool.  does this make me dumb? not really. in fact i could probably teach you guys a thing or 2. yes yes i have bad spelling and punctuation. i admit it because frankly i do not give a flying shit about any of that stuff. if you wanna take cheap shots at me about it because its amusing then have at it. i am not offended by it because you are right. i know dick about commas and capitalization. english was my worst class and i never payed attention. however my scholastic achievements have never held me back. and i find it amusing that you guys seem to hold proper english typing in such an important light. as long as i am understood i could not give  a care less what anyone thinks about my typing. is that enough explaination?
