Stop using 'myself' as if it's interchangeable with those two you dumb fucks.

It bothers me more than "I could care less".

Sorry. I couldn't bring myself to say it incorrectly. I meant I could care less obviously.

If you were making a thread with grammar usage that bothers you, why would you phrase your initial post the way you did?

I bet you had to google and realized how dumb you looked when I corrected you.

Stop backpedaling.

That's because you are not the Holy Trinity. Me , Myself and I are perfectly alright. :biggrin:

Bullshit. Here's proof, right from your two sentence reply, that you're no grammar guru.

I meant I could care less obviously.

Do0d, you just repeated your original mistake while trying to deny it! :awe:

Here's what you meant to type, ""I meant I couldn't care less, obviously."

But, wait, there's more! Notice the comma I inserted.

Your lack of a comma between "less" and "obviously" radically changes the meaning of your sentence.

Without said comma, "obviously" directly modifies the verb "care," and nothing else! It no longer refers to your entire sentence.

Without the comma, you are stating that you care (less) in some obvious fashion, without specifying what you care less about.

Without the comma, you are not saying that it is obvious that you meant to type, "I could [sic] care less."

I really don't expect you to understand this subtle grammatical distinction, because we all know . . . wait for it . . . that you couldn't care less. :p
