    Could care less = “I could care less about this thing, if I tried harder.”

    Implying that you do care, but could potentially care less if pressed.

    Couldn’t care less = “I could NOT care less about this thing, even if I tried harder”

    Get it right, it’s important.

      I am almost 70 and I am not going to change my language at this stage of my life. It was correct grammar back in the day. Language changes over time. Sad you felt the need to downvote when just discussing. Keep on keeping on.
