"I couldn't care less" means "I couldn't care less than I do. I care not at all. It's impossible to care less than zero."

"I could care less" is the one that's misused. It implies "I care some, but I could care less than I do now."

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
