Grammar Tip of the Day

[onthewhat]

When you are not interested in a particular issue, the correct phrase to use is "I couldn't care less."

Frequently, both on this forum and in real life, I hear or see people say "I could care less" when meaning they don't care at all. "I could care less" means that you care, at least a little bit!

I also become infuriated when people screw this up.

that was copied and pasted.

It's correct, of course. One of many simple things people screw up. If you actually think about it, saying you "could care less" doesn't make sense and doesn't convey the intended meaning.

That you used "there" and not "their" shows that you don't need the lessons as much as many of us.

Oh yeah, it's just a New York thing. Just the way you guys roll. The rest of the world can fvck off, right?

Jeezus Christ that's arrogant. Trust me, this is not a phenomenon unique to New York. Unique New York. Unique New York. Unique New York. Bet you can't say it 3 times fast.

I live in New York and that isn't true. The morons say it, yeah, but it has nothing to do with New York slang.

A lot of people who can't spell write "alot", but that is not a cultural dialect. It's merely stupidity.

Yiser, I still owe you a rematch if you want it. Speers hasn't been starting the thread daily, and to be honest I was getting a little burned out even after only a couple days, but I'd be down for a game every once in a while.
