The right phrase is:
"I couldn't care less".
If you could care less, then you obviously do care somewhat.
"Less then" as well. It's "less than".
Thank you

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Unfortunately being the key word. Mispronunciation of words is a pet peeve of mine.
I cringe when I hear someone say height as hei-th.

I have an acquaintance who pronounces 'clothes' as 'closes'.
It makes my head hurt to hear that.
By the way; "acquaintance". That is one mean word to spell! lol

'Yin/yang', not 'ying/yang.'
'A whole other', not 'a whole nother.'
'As long as', not 'so long as.'
'Let it be', not 'leave it be.' Just like the Beatles song suggests.
Excetera...
Oh no wait, I mean, et cetera.
Quote by magnificent1rascal
To my knowledge, 'so long as' and 'leave it be' are both valid expressions.

'So long as' is not in SPEU hence I automatically assume its wrong. But I guess 'as...' can be used the same as 'for the duration' and 'so...' can be used as a conditional, like 'provided that'.
The verb of leave is 'to go away from', and let is to allow or permit. 'Leave it be' is a tautology, just like 'free gift' or 'the reason why'.
But I am no English professor and I guess its all in the context, so I stand corrected.

A controversial confession: I've always hated the use of the word "cum" when taken to mean "orgasm," as in "When Bill ate Annie, tongue flicking at her clitoris like a velvet chainsaw, he made her cum so hard that she died." Some of you may scream in outrage, but the correct word in that context is "come," damn it.
(We need someone to rewrite the old Lenny Bruce song so it goes "Cum is a Substance, Come is a Verb.")

Here's one that has bugged me since I was in grade school ...
People writing 'alright'.
That is not all right at all.
