The phrase is 'I COULDN'T care less', not 'I could care less'. I have seen this mistake made by so many people on this forum.

Let us consult the caring continuum:


 

Apparently, a great deal of Americans never reach the stage where they actually couldn't care less.

They always care. At least a little.

 

Obama's made that mistake.

My theory is that some people, including myself, learned it wrong.

I assumed that when I said "I could care less" that I was being sarcastic, meaning no, I really don't care at all.

In fact, despite the arrogant grammar police's definition of a mistake, the truth is, intelligence in no way coorelates to grammar or spelling, and that turn of phrase can mean anything you want it to mean, if you're clever enough.

So, I wish people would cut it out with the superiority jazz about grammar, when they know it would be too difficult to argue an actual point.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
