I, having a positive type personality, can easily ignore posts that don't matter to me. Some people have to spread their negativity any place they can. So Ray, if you "could" care less, how much do you care now? Is it 10% of caring? Maybe you could care, say 5%? Oh, it really doesn't matter to me because I couldn't care less about your caring, Negative Ned.

Without Brady and Gronk on the Pats maybe the Jets have a chance.

From the Internet so take this with a grain of salt, but...
"Merriam-Webster treats the phrases couldn't care less and could care less as synonymous, both meaning 'not concerned or interested at all.' "

While "could care less" may not make grammatical sense, it has become such a widely used idiom that fewer and fewer of us old timers still use the "proper" version.

Now, back to football and The Drama.

Yeah, I saw that, too. I still stick by the proper version. I'm "only" 62!

Yeah, I'm a pedant, too. I used to say I was a pedantic, but someone even more pedantic than me pointed out that "pedantic" was an adjective and the noun form was "pedant." Made my day.
