If you’re talking about something wouldn’t that always mean that you in fact ‘could’ care less? Saying that you ‘couldn’t care less about X’ doesn’t seem logic

If you’re talking about something wouldn’t that always mean that you in fact ‘could’ care less?
Saying that you ‘couldn’t care less about X’ doesn’t seem logical at all because you of course could, ‘could care less’ is of course not particularly informative unless you’re expressing intention or a desire to care less about something.

- ywvcbk 2y agoBut you are thinking and talking about that specific thing? Which means that you could care less. The moment you say “couldn’t care less” you’re already technically incorrect because you obviously could..
- krustyburger 2y agoThe best kind of incorrect!
- wtetzner 2y agoTypically if you're saying that it's because someone else brought it up and you're letting them know you don't care.
