I usually hear people say "I could care less", but "I couldn't care less" makes more sense to me. The way I see it is saying that you could care less implies that you do care to some degree. I figured it would be interesting to post a poll in offtopic on this. Select the option that makes the most sense to you.

That depends on what you consider "correct".
Ok.
No, not really. Regardless about what people think.

For all intensive purposes, that's a mute point.
I see what you did there.
I could care less=you care to some extend
I couldn't care less=you don't care at all
But I'm not from an English speaking country, so there could be some unwritten rules about it
This is like a double negative in the regards that people use them incorrectly and don't even realize or care.
Grammar is important. Use it properly or people like me will not take anything you say with any weight.
This is exactly true the correct phrase is based on how much someone actually cares which is a completely subjective measurement that can only be quantified by the person using the phrase therefore either could be correct under different circumstances
Truth.
I see a post with a bunch of "u" and "ur" and I immediately check out.

Do I need to explain the spoons and forks on the table too?
"The pot calling the kettle purple."
"A dollar for you thoughts."
"Barking up the wrong elevator."
"Don't put all your sandwiches in one basket."
I suppose you could use the phrase "i could care less" if you don't want to indicate how much you actually care, or even indicate wich side you're leaning towards. Basically giving no information at all aside from that you do care about it to a certain, unknown degree.

Of all of things I have ever read in the 2+ years of being on these forums, this, sadly, is probably the most useful.
