WNW: A Rant: Could NOT Care Less

Hearing (or reading) I could care less is one of my eye-twitching peeves, because it states the exact opposite of what the person means.
I could care less means that the speaker/writer could conceivably care less than they do at this moment.
So . . . they DO care. At least a little. Because they COULD care less.
So it's possible for them to care less than they do right now.
Yeah, not even ALMOST what they mean.

Try again:
What they mean is that they care so little that there is no way for them...
