That lady is ****ing awesome.

 

[SLVRSR4]

I like her nonchalant mentality to the money.

 

[Hudson]

I wouldn't mind winning the Nobel's prize in Literature. of course I don't think the board of the Nobel's prize are fans of explosions.

 

[turtlefocker]

at least she could care less, could be worse she could have said she "couldn't care less" you know

 

[Abaddon]

she said couldn't.

"I can't say I'm overwhelmed with surprise," Lessing said. "I'm 88 years old and they can't give the Nobel to someone who's dead, so I think they were probably thinking they'd probably better give it to me now before I've popped off."

heh

 

[Zero_Vault]

Good.

That's how I would've reacted.

I'll probably throw it in a furnace if I ever get one.

...are you being sarcastic? I can't tell.

"I could care less," implies that you care to a degree, while, "I couldn't care less," implies that you do not care at all.

 

[sithgoblin]

Why the hell do people say "I could care less"? It makes no f**king sense! It's COULDN'T!

 

[BlackLantern]

It's like an Oscar....no one cares what you won it for, just that you won it....

 

[Abaddon]

He was being sarcastic.

[sassycat]

lol! Thanks for sharing terry78!

 

[K.B.]

Actually sometimes yes lol...

sometimes I have to much work to do and cant open another browser or some pages dont load properly and besides it's just over all easier to cut and paste an article into your thread...everyone else does it.

 

[Zero_Vault]

Terry is lazy.

 

[chamber-music]

she was on the news. Old people don't give a damn.

 

[PLAS]

Why the hell do people say "I could care less"? It makes no f**king sense! It's COULDN'T!

it's like when people write "could of been"

it's a past conditional clause, you write "could have been"

 

[terry78]

Terry is lazy.

Actually, you would be the lazy one if clicking a second time is too much for you.

Saying I could care less is ment to have sarcastic vibe to it.

Besides, saying I couldn't care less sounds weird.

No, it sounds correct.
