I've always taken "I could care less" as being incorrect, in the same way that you'll notice many people, again mostly North Americans, using "more then" where "more than" would be correct.

"I could care less" is New York slang. It means "I don't care at all". It's all in HOW it's said, however. which is something i can't convey in a post. Although rolling one's eyes probabaly helps show ones complete disinterest.  :roll:

oh, no, there's NO confusion when a New Yorker says they 'could care less'. there's ABSOLUTELY no problem being able to see the revoltion of being asked to be interested in a topic that one is clearly NOT interested in.

really.

yes, it's something like that. but add a face pinched like there's a bad smell somewhere.
