Well...actually it can mean either, both ways.

I could care less - I could care less, but don't care enough to do so
I could care less - I care a little, but that's could erode
I couldn't care less - I care so little that it can't go lower
I couldn't care less - It's important, so I can't care less

Occasionally, the american colloquialism ³I could care less² is used in this

In american ³english², this means ³I could NOT care less².
In actual ³english², this means ³I COULD care less². Which means ³I care².

So, remember, when you post a colloquialism, the people on this list who are
~not~ in the american ³english² speaking category will read it as it is
written.

In this case, your apathy may be interpreted as giving a sh!t. I know how
important it is for many of you to appear to NOT care.
