I was picking nits at your incorrect use of an idiom in a way which is a pet peeve of mine. The expression (used to be) "couldn't care less."

Damn. I'm usually more careful than that. It's a pet peeve of mine as well. I always read my posts a couple of times looking for that kind of thing before I hit submit. It was late and it got by me.
Good catch man.
Thanks for making me even more paranoid than I was before.

I think "I could care less" is generally used sarcastically to imply that one really couldn't care less. So it's just a variation of the original expression, and equally valid.

C Hack, was that an Alesis RA? Mine was, and when it blew up I stopped by the nearby music store, and the only monitor amp they had was a repaired Alesis RA. It inspired great confidence in the brand.

Everyone I know (myself included) mispronounces it "I
could care less", no sarcasm intended. But really, I could care less about the semantics of idioms.
