you are correct assuming it's said correctly. problem is it usually isn't Archived Message
Posted by IlliniSax05 on October 25, 2023, 8:18:19, in reply to "There is absolutely nothing wrong with 'could care less'. *"
it's often said in the context of "I don't care about this". so saying "I could care less" implies that you do care about it some amount. the correct phrase in that context would be "I couldn't care less." now if you do actually care then "I could care less" would be correct.
