Swamphunter Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I've been correcting people on this for years... because I couldn't care ANY less!! On yahoo's home page tonight.. lol The Reader's Digest Version of all those confusing words and seemingly random rules you missed in English class. You never mean: Could care less You always mean: Couldn't care less Why: You want to say you care so little already that you couldn't possibly care any less. When the Boston Celtics' Ray Allen said, "God could care less whether I can shoot a jump shot," we know he meant exactly the opposite because 1) God has other things on his mind, and 2) God is a Knicks fan.

Rhino Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Those don't bother me becuase I understand the meaning. It's the long 6+ line sentences that hurt my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck2 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 You all prolly make very good points. BTW, I've been told not to end a sentence with a preposition, so I'm not going to. See youse later; I guess I'll go check the spline of my arrows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
