But I’m not likely to. There are a great many things I could care less about than I do the ignorant misuse of the phrase couldn’t care less.
Properly used, couldn’t care less means, “I have utterly no interest in the matter at hand and it is not possible for me to be less interested than I am.”
The corrupted version, could care less, is used by people who couldn’t care less about accuracy in language.
If you are of this ilk, then please try to care more. Botching a simple phrase makes you sound ridiculous.
