Why do so many people say "I couldn't care less" wrong?

[Lynx122]

come on, do better :P

[Smashingdoozy]

They're not saying it wrong just using it in the wrong way. Saying " I could care less" started as a sarcastic thing which has just been used so much that it's now not satirical.

it still hurts my brain :S

What is your second and/or third language? Do you speak it as well as you speak English? Because believe it or not everyone's mother tongue is English.

[Lynx122]

german is my first language English is my second and french is my third.

You have this backwards/ When people say "I could care less" they are saying that Not they are capable of caring less.

Only German speakers think of language in terms of logic... 😏

[strateguy632]

You mean without the word "not" they are using sarcasm. I could but couldn't as sarcasm.

[NathanDavis]

because they could not care less about it?

[DryGermanGuy]

They’re the same people that also use the term „literally“ wrong 99% of the time.

Sounds like most US voters! They won't vote so someone else will use their name to vote for them.

[In_Trance]

Probably for the same reason they use the word "ignorant" out of context

[TheSpaceGnome]

Maybe because they actually could care less? 🤷🏻
