OMG that last question is something that has always bugged me and i really have never understood!! maybe it's because i live in england, but seriously i don't see how it could ever be "i could care less." it just doesn't make sense! "I could care less" means you do care about it because you'd have to if there was a way for you to care less about the topic, but "I couldn't care less" means the amount you care about this issue is so small that there is no possible way that you could ever give less of a shit about it. I mean seriously, how could two completely contradictory statements possibly mean the same thing?!?

oh i'm so confused :(
