I COULD/COULDN'T?? CARE LESS!

Bruce Tinsley's MALLARD FILLMORE cartoon for today (in the San Francisco Chronicle) makes a good point:



Most people who say, "I could care less." really mean "I could NOT care less."



Think about it. You are NOT saying that you could care less than you do, but you really do care quite a bit. What you want to convey is that you could NOT possibly care any less about whatever it is than you do.



Therefore, "I COULDN'T care less.
