The one thing that really infuriates me is the saying "I could care less." IT makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. What the speaker is saying in that instance is that he could actually care less about the topic at hand, which implies that he does care about it. The proper way to say this is "I couldn't care less", which is actually grammatically correct.
I'm sorry if I come across as being a know-it-all, but this is one of very few subjects that I take interest in (football is obviously one of those subjects  ) |
