For the longest time, when I didn’t care about something in the least, I’d say that “I could care less about…” But as I thought about it, that phrase was just wrong… if I didn’t care about something, it should be, “I couldn’t care less about…” I’d heard people say both, though, and recently wondered which is more popular.
So, I did what any righteous geek would do: I went to Googlefight.
The winner? Interestingly enough: “could care less” by a margin of 150,000 to 124,000. So apparently I wasn’t alone when I told people I could care less.
But, really, I’m sure you couldn’t care less about this whole argument.
