This is for fucking idiots- you can almost look up any word or phrase and google will say that it is now considered ok bc people have wrongly used the word. Etc etc

Think about it moron, if you could or can care less means that you actually care about something if you couldn’t or can’t care less than there’s no more care in the world.

I’m right and you’re fucking wrong, this is how you lose all your points- I’m really wrong but on google I get credit bc I participated-

Man, it’s got to suck to be you. Take that idiotic argument to your boss, well boss, losing money and making stupid choices is ok because all the people who are wrong outnumber the smart people, so it’s ok to make ignorant decisions and my mom and dad or ok with it so you should be too-

Wow!

Take it up with Merriam-Webster

The simple fact is, you are so desperate to try to score some points, you result to the stupidest of issues.

And I could care less. (but I don't)

No, saying I could care less is an expression, the implied meaning is as I stated. It means, I could care less, but I don't.

kek?

No it doesnt. Even your link says the older usage is couldn't care less. It is obvious that is the correct expression. Again stupid people just kept getting it wrong. Hence why Britannica said most Grammarians say couldn't care less is the actual correct expression.

There is absolutely no logical reason for both expressions to exist as what would be the point? So the older expression is again obviously the correct one.

We can argue difficult issues if you like but if you can’t get simple english down, I hardly think you’re ready to pontificate anything

You don’t understand simple English, I most certainly don’t want to hear you pontificate some intricate issues!

You’re simply not ready!

Could vs. Couldn't​

We define could care less and couldn’t care less on the same page, with the single definition “used to indicate that one is not at all concerned about or interested in something.” We do not put these seemingly disparate idioms on the same page in order to save space, or so that we might cause you pain. We do it because one is simply a variant of the other, and they are used in a synonymous manner.

There is little doubt that couldn’t care less is the older form, although no one is certain where this came from. There has been speculation that it is British in origin, and that American soldiers returning from World War II brought it to these shores. While it may indeed have come from the United Kingdom, there is clear evidence that couldn’t care less was in use prior to the 1940s.

Correct Usage: Either​

We understand why could care less sticks in your craw: it appears to mean something rather opposed to what it purports to mean. The person who says “I could care less” is, on the face of it, stating “Yes, it would be possible for me to care less deeply about this matter than I do, and therefore I am betraying some unspecified degree of care.” But if you are the kind of person who cries out against this abomination we must warn you that people who go through life expecting informal variant idioms in English to behave logically are setting themselves up for a lifetime of hurt.

Both could and couldn’t care less are informal, and so you are unlikely to use either one in formal writing. If you have need of using it in some other context, and would like to avoid alienating some portion of your audience you should stick with couldn’t care less. And if you can’t get past some people continuing to use could care less, and the fact that there’s nothing you can do about it, you may console yourself with the notion that at least they are not saying “I could care fewer.”

As for what you think on the matter, I could care less, but I don't.


Now, get a life.

Did you get this from the same place Don Lemon used to find what age range a woman's prime is?

Umm no DeMarcus Walker would start over most of the guys you named outside of Houston. He had higher pressure per snap rates in 2022 than Harris had in 2021 and a better overall PFF grade. The two Okwaras and Pascal havent played enough to say they are better than Walker.

It’s part of today’s culture where everyone gets a participation award and why conversate is widely used by idiots. It’s converse, a shorter and easier word.

Enough people complain and then come up with an inane way to argue like: “well, we know it’s wrong but feel it should be our way too”

See how this shit will work out for you in the real world. I’m sure your boss will be ok with this shitty attitude! Wah Wah, why can’t we all just be right????

It’s fucking insane, I don’t know how these type of people function in the real world.

He really copied a link to an internet page that admits to being wrong and then gives some word salad, bullshit excuse that makes zero fucking sense but is willing to ignore the meaning of words like couldn’t vs could!

Try using this crap in a court!

What’s next? 1 plus 1 isn’t 2
