- stan_rogers 11y ago"[X] could care less" is idiomatic English, not a mistake. It may have been an identifiable Yiddishism at one time, but it's a naturalized citizen at this point, and has been for decades. If you are looking for a living language in natural, everyday use to conform to some sort of formal logic, you have a lifetime of disappointment ahead of you.
- cholantesh 11y agoIdiomatic _American_ English, perhaps, but even otherwise, it's still a grammatical error. Just one that's become ubiquitous to the point that speakers in one place don't care or don't notice.
- dragonwriter 11y ago> Idiomatic _American_ English, perhaps, but even otherwise, it's still a grammatical error. Its not a grammatical error (grammatically, its basically identical to the "could not" form, since "could" and "could not" are usable in the exact same grammatical positions.) There is a semantic mismatch between the individual terms taken in isolation and the idiomatic meaning of the phrase, but this is not uncommon in idiomatic phrases (one can view it as something like "[x] could (in theory, though it is unlikely in practice) care less.")

- JustSomeNobody 11y agoDo you have a citation for this? I have always heard people get corrected for saying "... could care less."
