Pet peeve:

"Could Care less" means "I do care! (there is room for me to care less)"

Use "Couldn't care less" to mean "I care so little (i.e. not at all), that I *couldn't care less*"

 

Does anybody know anything about what this "Jet Blue aircraft disturbance" is all about? Did someone violate Jet Blue's Customer Bill of Rights?

 

To be fair, "tax-paying immigrants" is not the proper term. "Non-citizen tax-paying immigrants" is correct. Currently, immigrants can absolutely vote--if they are naturalized citizens.

 

Sorry, but the grammatical errors are driving me crazy. I'm sure you meant to say "waxes philosophical", not "waxes". "Waxes" means "becomes", and as it stands the sentence makes no sense.

 

"Waxes"? "could care less" ? C'mon Jen, we know you passed L&R. What gives?

 

The Supreme Court could care less about a case

COULD NOT CARE LESS
COULD NOT
