In reply to the discussion: Seriously, what's with the slurring, grinning and "I could care less" attitude? [View all]senseandsensibility
(24,744 posts)43. Thanks for at least partly understanding my use of the term
I agree that I could care less is not descriptive and doesn't literally mean what it purports to mean. It is incorrect in that way. I don't use it myself, normally, and have noticed and disapproved when others do. I draw the line at correcting them, however. Their meaning is clear enough. In this case, as usual when discussing trump, I was being sarcastic and tongue in cheek. I was also angry. So when I put those words in quotation marks in the title it was meant to convey his attitude and how he would say it. But I can see that that may not have been clear.

The best we can do is gently correct them, and then we must let go of it.
