"They could care less"

submitted by NaggerFagger to whatever 1.5 yearsNov 7, 2022 10:24:31 ago (+53/-1)     (whatever)

It's COULDN'T care less. COULD care less implies care on some level. Why do so many people have a hard time with this one? Annoys me more than it should.

One that bothers the fuck out of me is when someone says "for all intensive purposes"
In case you're one of these mouth breathing, crayon eating, window lickers the turn of phrase is "for all intents and purposes"

[ - ] IfuckedYerMum 22 points 1.5 yearsNov 7, 2022 11:02:54 ago (+22/-0)

Listen. For all intensive purposes, I could of cared fewer than whatever your saying. They're isn't really no reason why I should of, to be pacific. Ecspecially since it bothers you. sips expresso

If I didn't know you were joking I'd tell you to suck start a shotgun.

[ - ] watts2db 0 points 1.5 yearsNov 7, 2022 18:44:23 ago (+0/-0)

I don't believe a typical shotgun can be actuated by sucking, I think generally in one’s standard configuration the bang switch must be actuated (usually by a boogerhook).

There are so many.

The use of 'per say' instead of per se, when it means something like 'as a matter of linguistic convention' rather than what per se actually means. . .

The overuse of the term 'basically'

The misuse of the term 'literally'

In general, I get really frustrated by 'Twitter speak', which apparently means you can write without any considerations for spelling, and punctuation is optional. The Ye tweets were a good, recent example. You might be saying something worthwhile, but when it's an ungrammatical string full of spelling errors, you give someone good initial grounds to just ignore you. It doesn't take that long to make well-formed sentences. The couple of seconds and thumb strikes required are worth the investment.

saying 'nuanced' doesnt mean someone knows a single fucking thing about what theyre lecturing on.

Im glad I'm not the only one. That ranks up there with "irregardless".

Irregardless is a legitimate word, but it is mostly misused.

You won't do nothing irritates me because that means you'll do something. It's not just blacks in USA who do this, you'll find working class people in England doing it too. I've also had to correct foreigners in my job who do this. I don't need nothing, wot so you need something? No, I don't need nothing and then I am compelled to set the record straight even if it takes up to 3 minutes explaining why it is wrong and a lot(not alot) of patience.

Plus, a funny thing, those foreigners whose first language is not English have a special ability to always use the words much and many in the wrong way so I always say, whatever you think it is do the opposite and you'll be using it the right way.

Also, it's could/would/should HAVE, not of.

Yeah, that's another good one. I think people hear the informal contraction "could've" and think they are actually hearing "could of"

[ - ] IfuckedYerMum 0 points 1.5 yearsNov 7, 2022 16:04:36 ago (+0/-0)

That's what I think, but there's got to be a point where you say, "wait a minute..."

I hate it when people say it's a "mute" point. It's a "moot" point for christ sakes.

SYNTAX ERROR]

[ - ] The_Reunto 3 points 1.5 yearsNov 7, 2022 11:04:52 ago (+3/-0)

You're right, but you could just claim that while "couldn't care less" indicates apathy, "could care less" is a threat to become more careless and unrestrained.

[ - ] BitterVeteran 0 points 1.5 yearsNov 7, 2022 12:28:54 ago (+0/-0)

This. If you show a severe lack of interest, saying you could care less is still insulting. OP needs to remember to take his lithium.

[ - ] pickingrinninspittin 2 points 1.5 yearsNov 7, 2022 12:53:57 ago (+2/-0)

At some point an expression becomes an idiom, a thing which defies linguistic deconstruction yet 'everyone' knows what it means.

My personal bugbear is "Begs the question". This is a legal term and has a very specific meaning yet everyone uses it to mean "makes one want to ask the question". Even respected authors use it. Just stop, okay?

Even single words are not exempt. "Ironic" for example, which, thanks to that miserable song, now means coincidence. Irony is what happens when the opposite to what is expected takes place. The literary term "artistic irony" is more in line with Alanis Morissette's song.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 0 points 1.5 yearsNov 7, 2022 14:08:59 ago (+0/-0)

People were misusing ironic before Alanis.

I think there's two different ways to look at it. "I could care less but I won't because this is enough for me to totally not give one fuck nope."

The other way is more clear. "I couldn't care less because its the bottom of my care packet and its empty so kindly go fuck a lizard faggot."

Irregardless! It’s actually just regardless. Also flammable and inflammable mean the same thing.

[ - ] voatisajewishheaven 0 points 1.5 yearsNov 7, 2022 15:03:01 ago (+0/-0)

Nah, they're both ambiguous and stupid expressions.

"Couldn't care less" = Means you're either already at the bottom of the care scale OR that you actually can't afford to care less and you must care.
"Could care less" = Means you don't care about sustaining your position on the care scale, presumably you could care infinitely less or to a point where you "couldn't care less" anyway.

Just man up and use your big words: "I don't fucking care."

You have too much time on your hands. Be outraged about important things you fucking retard. Jesus fucking christ. Really? THIS is what you have time to worry about? You are a fucking moron and should probably kill yourself because you're wasting everyone's time. SMFH. You pick inconsequential shit like this to be outraged about because you have literally nothing to offer to society and shit like this makes you feel like you are smart. You aren't if this is the hill you are dying on. Jesus. Get a fucking life. What a fucking waste of time. I'm willing to die on the hill of "you need to kill yourself for the betterment of humanity".
