people get all riled up about misuse of certain phrases. but if you talk to any linguistics expert, they'll say it's expected and will usually be interested in its occurrence.

Irregardless, I could care less about there "supposably" grammatical hang-ups, for all intensive purposes.

I did a whole thread on these a while ago and there were lots of good examples, but "I could care less" really really drives me mad when I hear it for some reason. Dunno why.

"Could of"

"Would of"

Honestly though, and this is close to "could care less," there's this strange idiom common to the New England area whereof instead have saying "so did I" they'll say "so didn't I." You'd think they were asking some rhetorical question, but they are not.

Quote:
I saw FOOTLOOSE last night.

Oh? So didn't I!

You mean you did or you didn't?

I did.

But you just said you didn't.

Didn't I?

Okay I don't understand what you're saying at all now.
"I could care less?" I honestly could care less.

"Warsh" instead of wash? I warsh my hands of it!

"Cutting the lights ON?" Cut it out, it don't bother me.


But "so didn't I" is still hard for me to wrap my head around.
