Can someone please explain how "I could care less" and "I couldn't care less" can possibly mean the same thing?
LOGICAL ANSWERS ONLY, PLEASE.

They don't. Logically and grammatically they are quite different. But some people may use the former to mean the latter . . doesn't make it correct though 🙂

@SunshineGirl So why do people use the former to mean the latter? I don't get it.

@MaryDreamilton Where I come from, if you try to point out peoples' logical errors they just dig their heels in and insist they are right

@SunshineGirl Where I come from people who insist they are right when they are wrong are expected to prove they are right using obvious facts even when they are wrong, and we dig our heels in until they've presented us with these nonexistent "facts".

@MaryDreamilton Right, well I think you need to direct your questioning towards these people then.

@SunshineGirl I will, when I see them.
