This is the Bandy tract, you understand?
Do you understand Eli? That's more to the point, do you understand? I drink your water. I drink it up everyday. I drink the blood of laaaaaamb from Bandy's tracttt
Oh yeah I hate that could thing too.
Which institution for higher learning are you attending in Toronto?
Finished higher learning.
Wasn't in Toronto.
Huh... I've never thought of it like that. So saying I could care less basically means, I could care less, but I don't. I actually care more than that.
So it's more grammatically correct to say I COULDN'T care less, which is to say that it's the least amount that you could possibly care about something... have I got this right?
Look at that, you learn something new every day.

THANK YOU! I'm not the only one that hates that!
Right, like saying "I could care less" means that you're actually caring about it to some extent, that you care about it in some way, because it's not the LEAST you could care.
I've been labeled a grammar nazi as well. Sometimes I can't stand people replacing "You're" with "Your" or vice-versa.

Thank the lawd.
The first comment is actually an educated response from someone who's not a moron. There's hope for NG yet.
