introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Seeā¦ thatās the thing of itā¦. while I tend to say āI couldnāt care less,ā because itās grammatical, and ācould care lessā makes no actual sense, I think itās meant ironically.
There are a lot of ironic expressions that donāt hold up to scrutiny, like āI could give a ratās behind,ā āI DONāT give a ratās behindāā¦āNot half bad,ā āNot halfāā¦.āTell me about it!ā Saying āgreatā when something bad happens and āThis tastes funny.ā
Ohā¦. and much as I hate hate hate āshould ofā in writing, itās more of a mishearing or misspelling than ignorance.
It comes from our habit of contracting āshould haveā into āshouldāveā in casual speech, and its being misheard and then written as āshould ofā.
Thanks to the people on here that stepped over to Rogue Symmetry to check out my tribute yesterday. I apologize for misspelling Rogue. My spell check should have caught it, and probably did. I was in sort of a fugue at the time and didnāt catch my typo.
My friendās family liked the tribute. I am indebted to Derrick Wood for setting his comic back a day to let me use his spot.
In appreciation, I will give his comic one more shout out, and this time make sure there are no typos.
@X, I thought that was WOOLEN kittens as in yarn, kittens etc.
I used to read this one just for all the little hidden things that Julie used to coordinate with the theme of the dayās joke, but as more of the toons are now reused, they are not always coordinated. I definitely come here mainly for the comments, even when I have little time (such as when Iām on someone elseās PC) I manage to read DS and BS.
