I've never clicked that link after 5 or so years. What does it go to? I agree though. It is annoying to me when people put a signature in their post.

His link leads to nowhere.

You must be very stupid. Expressions can be interpreted in a non-literal way. It's part of the flow of the English language

Tell them they're idiots even more, because they are.

"I could care less" means "I care. I care so much that there is a lesser degree of caring that I could have adopted, but I did not, because I do indeed care to a significant degree."

"I couldn't care less" means "I care to no degree. On a scale of zero to whatever, my level of caring is zero, because I do not care."

Your friends probably use moron words like "irregardless", too, I bet, because they apparently don't think about the words that come out of their mouths. Just tell them to stop and think about their words (really stop and think), and they should realize how stupid they're being.

I would have liked to continue reminding him of his stupidity when he argued back, but the fact that he started smoking pot at the age of 11-12 speaks for itself.

if we knew why some people say could and some say couldn't, we'd know the meaning of life.

Dumbest thread ever. It's like asking why people say anyways instead of anyway.

Oh yeah, and it annoys me when people (often very intelligent people) say the word "is" twice in a row when it's not necessary: What it basically means is, is that we have to cut taxes to stimulate growth in the economy...etc.

Sadly enough, I caught myself typing that today. I won't make the mistake again.

Oh, hey sorry. Totally forgot that I was talking to you.
