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.

I only down voted you, so you’d be right 👍

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.
