The most important question in history.

[elkaebee]

"I could care less"

and

"I couldnt care less"

Is there a difference?

obviously.

When you say, "I couldn't care less" that's pretty much saying you've washed your hands of the whole thing.

When you say, "I could care less" that means you think that you don't care, but there's some underlying reason why you still do care to a degree.

These phrases are used interchangably though because the vast majority of people are illiterate. In my eyes anyways. :| That and the English language is very complex,...
...
...
...
and most people don't know how to speak proper English.

Alright then...

We need to think of another "The Most Important Question in History"(forever hence reffered to as a "TMIQH").

Anyone got anything?

I couldn't care less.

LOL

Meaning, he really, really doesn't give a sh** about this thread. Good example. :thumbs:

EDIT>Then again, Bam23 did care enough to take the time to read the thread and reply, so he would really fall under the category of, "I could care less", tbh.

See what I mean? Most people don't know proper grammar.

what does tl;dr mean? (or something liek that) I must have been absent the day they explained that. I think it means 'in short', but what do the letters stand for?

too long; didn't read.

Fromhttp://www.encyclopediadramatica.com

TL;DR is an abbreviation for Too Long; Didn't Read. It is used in response to a writer that doesn't know when to shut the <bleep> up. Most of what is found on LiveJournal is considered TL;DR. Notable examples of this facepalmingly annoying writing trend include The Holy Babble, everything ever written by Bill O'Reilly, and most of Encyclopedia Dramatica. TL;DR in all forms is a bannable offense on the Something Awful forums.

The polar opposite of TL;DR is TS;DR, which nobody ****ing uses.

The interweb site SparkNotes tries to fight TL;DR syndrome in books and shit, but their summaries are usually just as long and boring as the source material, because they are mostly written by pretentious <bleep> who wish they could write novels themselves instead of just summarizing them.

And now we need another.
