Now, I expect to be down voted.

I don’t care, but I’m going to piss a lot of people off.

I say “I could care less”.

That’s sarcasm. It’s what my nineties, heroin chic, grunge music adolescence gave me.

I could care less. It would just require that I make an effort. That’s not caring less. That’s caring about something.

It’s like how the biggest homophobes always seem to be closeted. They care too much.

You think “could care less” is actually legit? Fat chance!

I remember we used to say “like I could care less” sarcastically back in the late 80s. I moved to a non-English speaking country in ‘89 so I have no idea when “I could care less” shifted from sarcasm to incorrect grammar, but I was surprised the first time I encountered people online mention it as a grammatical pet peeve.

I’m never quite sure what it says about me that I find David Mitchell the most relatable person on television.
