a bone to pick
What is with people who say, "I could care less."? I mean, this implies that it is possible for you to care less than you currently do. That means that this would only make sense if you were talking about something you cared about. If you DIDN'T care about it, wouldn't you say, "I couldn't care less"? Meaning that it is physically impossible for you to care less than you currently do? Because you are at the absolute bottom of the spectrum of caring? I could care less about people starving all over the world. I could not care less about the material I learn in statistics. Right?

i want to kill people like them. but only on really bad days.

YES! I constantly critique people's use of English. . . did I just say something wrong in this comment? Dang it.......!!!!!
I'm pretty sure the original expression IS "I couldn't care less."
But people love to screw up things like that.
"I should OF gone?" What?
AHHHH MY HIGH SCHOOL MEMORIES ARE COMING BACK TO ME. betsy always made us talk about this like every night of my life.
