I hate " same difference"

[Ruprecht]

"yous" drives me mental. The attempted pural of "you". As in, "What are yous all doing after work?"
Seriously, I have to hold myself back from correcting people in public.

Also that british accent where an "f" sound replaces "th" at the end of a word.
I see red.

If I started a thread for every sherdog poster's idoism that drove me nuts..

Here's one: "If my memory serves me RIGHT.." *cringe*

[USS_Logic]

I do not know if anybody has mentioned this one...

"I am so over it."

...makes me cringe.

I couldn't care less means you could not care any less then you already do.

The saying is : I could care less.

Its the Americanised version of the old English saying "I couldn't care less" which is a saying to demonstrate that something matters so little to you that you are incapable of giving any less consideration or care to the matter, hence, I couldnt care less. A demonstration of pure apathy to a scenario or issue or whatever.

However, "I could care less", which is used for the same purpose of demonstrating apathy towards something and that you are incapable of caring any less about it, makes no sense whatsoever and is actually a totally redundant comment. If you are capable of caring less or you could care less, than what is the point of saying it? "I am capable of caring less about subject X", ok, so how does that relate to expressing apathy?

Folks, the saying is "I couldn't care less," the version many of you use makes no sense in the terms its used in.

That is all.

I always wondered about that one as well, i thought it ws just an american thing and that it made sense to you guys

Hahahaha! No kidding!

What bugs me is people who use the word "apparently" with the intended effect of "allegedly".

And people who over-use the word "actually" with the intended effect of "truly".

Anyone else see this? I think it was on HBO.

This to me is obvious.

It’s the idea that there is an independent standard by which we can measure what is "good"; the pinnacle of which (being flawless) would be perfect. By this standard we measure that murdering children is "not good", and in relation an action like say...stiffing a waiter on a tip is not necessarily "good" but at least "more good" than murdering children.

Apply this to the declaration and take into account the context, audience, and authors of the writing and it's obvious that the founding fathers understood the new government they were trying to form for themselves could never be perfect, but could at least be CLOSER to that ideal than what they were dealing with before
