The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for May 12, 2023

The guys at Burts office think a poll is that tall skinny thing with a flag on top. “I’m taking a poll” means you’re going to steal the flag thingy.

I’m worried about the kittens!

I believe it’s mittens – from the song “My Favorite Things” (The Sound Of Music).

couldn’t care less about finding that Bell…!

If you had no care whatsoever, then it’s “couldn’t care less.”

When in doubt, consult Weird Al. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gv0H-vPoDc

If you could care less, then you might care more. However, since everyone seems to know what you mean the grammar folks say either could or couldn’t is acceptable. Guess they could/couldn’t care less!

…you go, Burl, you GO!! Spread the dumbness around all your co-workers…….

couldn’t find it either

Wait…what? Is that “kittens” tied up in string?? I’m more of a dog person, but still!

I could care less – means you are capable of caring less.I couldn’t care less – means you are incapable of caring less. So people who say “I could care less,” are really saying they feel they care too much!

How about just saying “I don’t care” and leave it at that.

Either one is correct
