    oh, ffs, it's COULDN'T care less.


    Dude chill on the grammar nazi tendencies. I’m quite sure we all know what it SHOULD be. We just choose not to care. Some cultures speak broken English in social settings. Hence why there’s an Urban Dictionary.

    Oh and thanks so much for the link you gave me. 😘 My “astrology reading” was so cool, I was like “dayamm, that’s totally me!” Then I continued reading and started wondering what the deal was. I mean when you start adding all those moons and stars and what have you, I noticed basically every single personality trait was listed. For instance, one section says I love to travel and another section says I’ll be happier staying in one place... 🤔 so which one is it?? Haha! I guess these things are designed so you can pick and choose which one applies to you 😂😂

    It was pretty fun though



    You know the correct phrase but choose not to care? So you choose not to say what you mean? That's efficient.

    It's got nothing to do with slang. It is about unintentionally saying the opposite of what you mean which makes you sound like a dumbass. it's born out of ignorance rather than any sort of subversive regional protest.

    Speaking of urban dictionary...

    i could care less
    an expression that idiots use when they don't care about something or have no interest in something. what they really mean is "i couldn't care less"

    john: this video game is so good. i could play it forever
    jim: i could care less. i hate video games.
    john: wait, so you could care less.... that means that you care somewhat. you mean "i couldn't care less"?
    jim: what? no. i don't give a shit about your dumb video game.
    john: you're a fucking retard.

    Omg just stop! I don’t think there’s anything more obnoxious than a grammar nazi. Really what is this burning desire you have to correct everyone’s grammar? Will the world stop turning if someone messes up their grammar? Has any catastrophe ever occurred as a result of someone’s poor grammar? Hell if someone makes a measurement or calculation error, buildings can come crashing down, planes can fall from the sky, or formulas can poison people. But never in the history of mankind has someone died because of poor grammar.... At least not in this century. I can’t speak for what lunatics and fanatics did back before indoor plumbing was invented.

    Every time you correct someone’s grammar, you might as well instead say, “I think I’m smarter than you.” And sorry, I don’t care how well you performed in English Lit class, unless you’re an engineer or rocket scientist, chances are, you’re not smarter than me. English is just one language out of many, but math is universal.

    And FYI, you shouldn’t presume to be an expert on the way people communicate in every single culture.... because you’re not. Urban Dictionary was just an example I used because it’s widespread and something more people can relate to. But Pidgin or “Broken English” IS part of my culture. When a significant percentage of the population is comprised of uneducated blue collar workers or immigrants with English as their second language, you have to relate with them on a common level. You cannot build working relationships with people when you have a pompous, holier than thou attitude. It alienates and belittles people. And in some cases, it’s just plain mean. You need to assess your audience and communicate with them accordingly. Maybe that’s just my “Libra personality” talking, trying to please everyone. While you call it “ignorance,” I like to think it’s about having common decency and consideration for others, regardless of their education level or background. When you talk “above” someone with little to no education, how do you think that makes them feel?

    With that said, unless I’m drafting an email or a letter to give to a client, I write how I normally speak. I have no need to prove my level of intelligence by demonstrating how gracefully I embrace the English language. My reputation precedes me and everyone who matters knows I’m competent and excel at what I do. And seeing as how I work with numbers, formulas, and calculations all day, I COULD CARE LESS, if I incorrectly construct a sentence when posting a COMMENT ON A BLOG.

    Ok. So we've established you do care. Cool.
