Americans say 'I could care less'?

I find it rather amusing that my fellow Americans are somehow insulted by this. Has the realization of your poor sentence formation hurt your ego or something? espoac

You could always get revenge by making generalizations too. >_>

That makes no sense o_0

I say "I could care less" and i'm American (New Yorker to be exact). Who really cares. Most people know American English isn't the same as "Proper English" and there is some people who think its mixing in with Spanish because of surrounding countries. Shadow2k6

It isn't "Proper English" so much as it is "International English".

I could care less why Americans like myself talk that way. I usually say couldn't myself, but somethimes I say could.

Why do people say "ain't"? They just do. Why do people say "same difference"?

i know ive noticed that before its pretty annoyingclock_of_omens
