From the culture that brought you "I could care less" to indicate that they in fact could in fact, not care less. Genius.
Yeah, I'm no language purist, but most instances of "I could care less" are obviously the opposite of what they mean, and sadly, the phrase has already forged itself in the (American) English lexicon as the opposite of what it means by definition, much like "literally," "inflammable" and "irregardless."
I recognize the lines we draw around such things are arbitrary, and I have no right to be angry about the above four any more than anyone has any right to be angry at me for not pronouncing the H in "who," "what," "when," "where," "why," etc.
On the one hand I admire the French for writing down what officially constitutes "French," but I'm simultaneously irked at the fact that they eradicated the majority of dialects in their borders as an intentional direct result. Or is the unity they brought about worth it to crack those eggs?
I'm sure I would say No if I was one of those eggs.
