Could you or could you not care less?
I came across a great graphic the other day that succinctly captures one of my pet peeves: saying "I could care less" when meaning "I could not care less."
What's the difference? This picture speaks 1000 words:
Do you mean to say you really, really, really do not care about something? Use the proper rhetorical flourish: Share with the world that you could not care less.

Actually "Couldn't care less” is proper because it's saying that “I could not care any less about this; I care so little about this that I cannot care any less. The Oxford dictionary already recognizes “could care less” as an American colloquialism.
