This goes out to everyone, in a most general sense.

Okay, listen up. The phrase is "I could NOT care less." Got it?

If you write or say "I could care less about (insert whatever here)" it means exactly the opposite of what you most likely intend it to mean. Unless, of course, you're just playing with the phrase, knowing that a lot of people tend to muck it up, and actually do mean that you care about whatever is being discussed. But that's pretty rare, because usually you're just screwing it up and mean to say that you could not care less about whatever, and it really irks me.

I could care less about this.

It's possible for me to care a LOT less about this peeve.

You know, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought about this.
