(just as an aside)

I always thought that people who said 'I could care less' somehow
hadn't heard the 'nt' and didn't consciously parse the grammar of the
sentence, making it a kind of frozen form. Similar in process to how
people (in my area in Canada) at one time would reply to 'no way' with
'yes way'....
