Americans: I could care less
>I COULD care less

Daily reminder that if you learnt US English you aren't bilingual because US English isn't English.

"I couldn't care less" is more correct, right?
>>
>>62044049
yes.

If someone asks you "What do you think of gay marriage?"
And you reply "I couldn't care less."

It means it isn't POSSIBLE that you care LESS than you actually do.

When Americans say "I could care less", then they're just saying I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT GAY MARRIAGE - meaning they think it's important.

It's not English.

Thanks. Btw, most schools here teach British English, but, of course, it's not like kids really know it.

Calm your breasts it's short for "I could care less but I wont". It shows that you know a subject is ultimately irrelevant but you must speak of it.

Why? American English is more popular in the UK than British English. Soon there will be no distinction and the world will speak American

Brit """english""":
>maths is important.
>maths is
>mathS is

Daily reminder that UKucks use plural nouns with singular verbs. If you're going to abbreviate Mathematics (from Greek μάθημα máthēma) as a plural noun, you should write:
>Maths ARE important.

If you're going to abbreviate it as a singular noun, like Americans do, then you can use the verb "is" and write:
>Math is important.

So you won't care less but you could? That still means you care more than the bare minimum you could manage.

I always thought we spoke Americanized English. Add parts and bits from all the countries that immigrate here.
You're so...pure.
Except for the "Chutney" thing, of course.
