"I could care less."
People I love. People I respect. People I admire. Intelligent people. Grammatically conscious people. I, myself.
They all say it or have said it.
But think about it. Please. If you could care less, then you could very well care a great deal for whatever is being discussed. You dig?
It doesn't peeve me as much as "nucular" does. Jesus H. God in Everlasting Heaven that makes me angry. As long as you pronounce the word "nuclear" as the Maker fucking intended, then we're cool.
I think we should all try to overcome the bad colloquialism of "I could care less," though.

I blog less when I'm happy. A lot less. I think that's true of everyone,
really. You're too busy experiencing the moment and spend a lot less time
moaning ...

this is also a pet peeve of mine. i used to complain about it but would get just a blank stare in response. "you know? 'cause if you could care less...then you care at least a little bit about the thing about which you're trying to convey a lack of concern. anything? no? okay."
