Why!? You are emphasising a point that you really don't care. Saying you could care less doesn't get that point across as you're saying that you do in fact care. It should be 'I couldn't care less'.
It irritates me.
Waits for it....

Ok you waited for it now I will deliver for you.
People are not saying "I could care less"
You are just not hearing the full retarded way of saying it.
It's said by many through laziness, "I could'n care less"
Indicating its "couldn't" but spoken in a more fuck u attitude and leaving out the T.

There, now you feel like a wally.
Unless you're some piece of shit chav who's had all of his teeth knocked out and can't speak properly anymore, there still is an audible difference between "could'n" and "could" - the former's what a southerner from the US would say with their hillbilly accent

I'll take every opportunity I get to post them, because I find it so annoying that half the British population can only write/typo () phonetically
thats why I wrote it like that, what was the point highlighting chavs lol, its pretty much the norm now of the generation we have and just had to speak this way. Unless you are going to oxford.
it seems from the other posts that its more a USA thing, they don't even know how to say it "chav" style but hey they like to be so different eh.
Omfg Nalo really, you got that worked up to throw "fucking" into the reply. I am sorry you read it that way lol.
To say half the UK are butchering the english language then I guess you mean a high majority in immigrants not of the english langauge anyway lol. (I actually think its only 11%) but I still don't get the hostility.
Come to the south of UK or go to the north and its the same, people speak as they want, most people know how to talk correctly they just can't be bothered.
Don't get me wrong a second time here but I personally do loathe it just as much, everyone down in southampton or portsmouth are all the same lazy speaking slobs but its the norm here wether anyone likes it or not it just is. 30 miles to the east where I was brought up further along in sussex its completely different old chap.
It doesn't have shit to do with Oxford. You don't have to have a fucking elite education to know the basics of your native language. Werelds is correct: half the UK are butchering the English language.
Most languages are going through that, sadly Dutch isn't immune...
Experts call it the evolution of language... to me it sounds more like dumbing down because people can't speak properly anymore.
Same with Swedish, I really don't get why they had to butcher so many words, let alone why they embrace their dialects so much.

Problem is at the education and laziness of teachers and students. Good teachers are even more rare now, when I went to high school half of the teachers were inspiring (maybe I was lucky). When I look at school now (high school in Sweden) from the 15 different teachers I had: only 1 was inspiring, 2 were good and the rest looked like they gave up/were lazy.

It's not even the speaking. I personally love the northern accents, much more so than the southern ones, even though it's the northern ones that "deviate" the most from "proper" pronunciation. The Essex accent is horrible
No, it's the writing that annoys me the most and that has spread all throughout the UK. That image I posted above is exactly what's wrong with the UK and it's not the immigrants - it's the opposite. It is a far too large portion of actual British (and Aussi for that matter) people who get that shit wrong all the time because they write and type phonetically. That has nothing to do with "they speak how they want to" - a language's spelling and grammar aren't subject to interpretation. That is not like northerners saying "fookin" or some regions of the country saying "wiv" (instead of "with" ).
The first 3 and last one in particular on that image I see all the damn time - in fact, you just have to look up Theescapist's posts (sorry mate ) to see them in action. And "could of" is something even a lot of non-Brits have picked up out of sheer stupidity. I don't get how you can write a sentence with that, look at it, and not see how it makes no sense at all. "I could of done worse" - what? English motherfucker, do you speak it?
I may not be British, but I work for an English company, deal with Brits all the time and have been to the UK more than I care to admit. And I've been doing it for so long, that I have a British accent that throws people off the fact that I'm Dutch all the time.
And Morph is right, the same is happening in Dutch and it makes me cringe. Especially since just like in the UK it's the people who have Dutch as their first language (it's not my first language, my local dialect is my first language) who shout the hardest that "immigrants should learn to speak Dutch/English/Whatever!". But then they make their statement by going "their just leeching our benefits, they should of learnd our language first!". Or the Dutch equivalent (to give Morph a chuckle): "ze jatten onze banen, maar geen van hun die onze taal heb geleert!".

It's an American thing. Had an American try to educate me why couldn't care less means you are opting to care very much...
Look don't ask me why, no one know how the American "brain" works, but you're not alone in this.
