I see nothing wrong in not caring. Sometimes people care too much. Honestly, we have to dole out apologizes to every offence we make, regardless of the intent to offend or not. I say, "**** off. I don't give a ****". That's just honesty right there folks.

It does bother me. Another one that bothered me was when the PS3 came out and people kept saying 'just wait until they harness the power the PS3 can achieve'. That really annoyed me.

Isn't "I couldn't care less" a double negative? I don't know.

cowplayinghalo

Double negative requires two (double) negatives. There's only one in that phrase.

Right, but since you're saying less...? I think it's correct to say "couldn't", but I'm not sure anymore. Could care less sounds correct.

could care less means the exact opposite of couldn't care less that's why it annoys people when people say "could care less"

He is not talking about that. He is saying that saying could instead of couldn't is incorrect based on what they are trying to say (that they do not care at all and it is not possible to care less)

:lol:

Anyway, I think I am more put off by the improper usage of your/you're than the could/couldn't care less thing. It really isn't that difficult to know when to use "your" instead of "you are".

I never really hear anyone say that so it does not bother me at all.
