-- Posted by Pendulum at 9:26 pm on July 3, 2009 Why do you americans say that when you mean you don't care? That means you DO care about something when you are trying to convew that you don't. Surely, the correct term is "I couldn't care less" So that you cannot possibly care less about a certain subject than you already do. Forgive me if I am wrong or confused, but wtf. -- Posted by DaisyMontana at 9:27 pm on July 3, 2009 CAUSE WE DON'T CARE... ok? -- Posted by AprilAnn at 9:27 pm on July 3, 2009 im confused. -- Posted by Themakingofagod at 9:27 pm on July 3, 2009 Its sarcastic. -- Posted by BREAKBOY at 9:27 pm on July 3, 2009 EWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!! i feel so bad for him! -- Posted by Lal at 9:27 pm on July 3, 2009 No, it's "I couldn't care less" but people say "I could care less" no idea why. just like, "I could give a rats ass" is supposed to be "I COULDN'T". Not a lot of people say it correctly. -- Posted by cyberpunk at 9:27 pm on July 3, 2009 i say, "I couldn't care less." but really, idc -- Posted by hope19 at 9:27 pm on July 3, 2009 Haha. I've ALWAYS wondered about that. I'm glad I'm not the only person who has noticed that... -- Posted by Kankalicious at 9:28 pm on July 3, 2009 I always think about that, and I do say couldn't care less. Drives me nuts. -- Posted by The Artery at 9:28 pm on July 3, 2009 I know what you mean. -- Posted by Descartes at 9:28 pm on July 3, 2009 Wow. I actually almost posted a topic exactly like this about 2 hours ago but I decided not to. -- Posted by Agirl18 at 9:28 pm on July 3, 2009 I truly could care less -- Posted by Troop at 9:28 pm on July 3, 2009 they say i could care less because they could care less but they care so little about the topic that they could care less but dont. yea.... -- Posted by TechnoShark at 9:28 pm on July 3, 2009 I think I've heard this argument before. I say "I couldn't care less" or "Shut the fuck up" -- Posted by techfreak15 at 9:28 pm on July 3, 2009 Because "Don't care" is shorter. -- Posted by Aria of Silence at 9:28 pm on July 3, 2009 The english language is a very confusing thing. -- Posted by clavicle at 9:28 pm on July 3, 2009 i've seen more than just americans do that. -- Posted by Kaijuu at 9:28 pm on July 3, 2009 I know it's so annoying I'm american but I say I couldn't care less -- Posted by torturedsoul20032000 at 9:29 pm on July 3, 2009 Merely because every language has it's own set of dialects.  For instance the Chinese.  If you go to any part of China, something that means one thing there can mean another thing elsewhere.  Same for England and any other country that has a large population.  Though the language is the same the dialect is different. -- Posted by Pendulum at 9:29 pm on July 3, 2009 Quote: from torturedsoul20032000 at 5:29 am on July 4, 2009 Merely because every language has it's own set of dialects.

Forgive me if I am wrong or confused, but wtf. every language and cultue has stupid stuff like that. I prefer could't care less as opposed to could. but w/e -- Posted by ElectricLadyFlash at 9:31 pm on July 3, 2009 THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one who noticed this! -- Posted by starularcircles at 9:31 pm on July 3, 2009 i say couldnt. some people just miss the "nt" part. -- Posted by Poker Shark at 9:32 pm on July 3, 2009 Quote: from hope19 at 1:57 pm on July 4, 2009 Haha. I've ALWAYS wondered about that. I'm glad I'm not the only person who has noticed that... Me, too lol. -- Posted by Just Waiting Here at 9:36 pm on July 3, 2009 So weird... I had this exact that either today or yesterday. It goes along with how many people think 'I had nothing better to do' is an insult.  And in many cases it can be... but can't it also be... "out of everything I could have done, this was the best!"... On another note... please explain the phrase, "You can't have your cake and eat it too."  Why would I want the cake in the first place if I couldn't eat it?

That has completely NOTHING to do with what I was talking about :/ I disagree.  What is being asked is why people say something that has no basis on what it means.  When in fact such a large groups says it it is obviously slang.  So speaking of dialects, true it is in a much broader spectrum, is in fact relevant to the topic at hand.  Haha, I enjoy making myself seem smarter than I am.  It's entertaining. -- Posted by hithere at 10:13 pm on July 3, 2009 it's not an american thing
