I agree what a tool bag.

I can't stand people that care about grammer.
Not caring about about grammar is actually pretty rude, since it implies making the listeners/readers do your work for you. Not only that, you'll leave people guessing, increasing the risk of misinterpretations/misunderstandings (which, depending on the cirtcumstances, may even be dangerous).

It's all about following protocol and adhering to standards to ensure proper communication, really.

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



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. 😛

First off I'm typing from my phone so I'm not going to bother with punctuation.
Secondly there's a huge difference between missing a comma and flat out using the wrong word

You did both. Then you used the wrong word again -- "could" instead of "couldn't" -- when you posted trying to pretend you hadn't. Please don't try to blame that one on your phone! :colbert:

First off I'm typing from my phone...

Either you need a better phone, or your phone needs a better user. 😛

This is the Perk I used to know

or should I say myself used to know. I still don't know what context people misuse "myself"
 
Here are a couple of goodies spotted recently.

I think it's your reading comprehension that's the problem here.

No, he was saying that he meant to post "I could care less" in the OP instead of "I couldn't care less". then he said he couldn't bear to type it wrong... either way it was fail.
