I have to know-- how many of you think that the correct phrase is......?

Question

"I could care less about it"?

Though I appreciate your honesty-- it's "I COULDN'T CARE LESS"! Doesn't that make more sense??? Did you ever wonder why you were expressing how little you cared about something by saying you could care even less about it???
