For those who confuse “could care less” and “couldn’t care less” here is the greatest unprofessional chart you will ever see.

This was needed? :)
I expect people who confuse these terms, get confused by an awful lot of other things too!
Charts will be no help.
The chart is wrong.
Because “Coundn’t Care Less” is not at the extreme bottom of the chart, it suggests that there is some point below “Couldn’t care less”. Thereby meaning that in fact you do care at least the tiniest bit, so in fact you COULD care less…

Plus, ‘could care more’ and ‘could care less’ should be on the same point as they are interchangeable.
You are wrong you t1t.
This!
You’re right. That’s a flaw in the diagram. “Couldn’t care less” should be the absolute lowest point, and “Couldn’t care more” the highest.
Say “couldn’t care less” in a deep southern Louisiana drawl.
The “n’t” is silent.
That’s my theory of why “could care less” has become prevalent among North Americans.
:-)
Other such ones I’ve noticed are:
“then / than”
“should have / should of”
Americans tend to say “could care less”.
*sigh*
The only people on the entire planet that get this wrong are Americans
We are not those
