When you say "I could care less" it is saying that you could care less about the current thing. When you don't care about something you say "I couldn't care less" which means that you really can't care less about it.

Funny
You know the Dictionary DOES change with the acceptability of the new ways that people communicate the words.
If the majority of the poulations shifts and uses Virii then that will become the Norm.

man, i don't know what educational system you guys come from, but you sure don't know how to spell. yes, i realize that language is an ever evolving entity. however, get yourself an oed (that's oxford english dictionary), learn some philosphy, pass your english courses and let's get crackin'.
I guess I missed the evolutionary process in English that eliminated capitalization.

It's a public internet forum. Posts like these are the equivalent of b!tching out your friends when they're trash-talking over a game of Madden 2k4 and say who instead of whom.

yes it does change but not always. a public official lost his job over the word 'niggardly' but it will always mean 'scanty or meager' in the forseeable future instead of 'some word that no one knows the meaning to but sounds like a derogatory name for black people so it must be bad' despite that a large percentage of people at the time did think that.
when i'm on a plane, i never hear the term 'flight deck' instead of 'cockpit' even though it means 'he space set apart for the pilot and crew' but many people are given the connotation of 'a dark place that temporarily houses one or more erect male genitalia.'

I HATE when people say that.
Another thing I hate is this...
In the south people like to say "What do we like?" meaning "What's left ?" Of course the correct way to say it is "What do we lack?" That really bugs the piss out of me.
Nope, that's right

While your definition is correct, you should see that the way it was used in your example is at least recognized.
from Merriam-webster online
2 <B>:</B> in effect : virtually <will literally turn the world upside down to combat cruelty or injustice -- Norman Cousins>
usage Since some people take sense 2 to be the opposite of sense 1, it has been frequently criticized as a misuse. Instead, the use is pure hyperbole intended to gain emphasis, but it often appears in contexts where no additional emphasis is necessary
