The correct phrasing is -

"I couldn't care less"

"I could care less" - if you could care less, why don't you care less?

If you couldn't care less then that's it, there is no less caring you can do.


The english language isn't that difficult.

Don't get me started on thier, there, and they're...

    It was meant to be a little tongue in cheek - text humour fail?

    Also, it's "than", not "then".

    Not in this context, but you did bring my attention to a missing apostrophe and 's' - thus making the sentence "If you couldn't care less then that's it"

    Vote for sticky.

    Also: "Should have", not "should of". That's one I see a lot.

    Aha! Then I agree with you. I didn't read it closely enough the first time either.

    Additionally, it's "I could have..." not "I could of..."

    There refers to a place, while their is third person plural possessive, and they're is a contraction of they are.

    Don't even get me started on its and it's.

    Admittedly it's one of my pet peeves.

    Especially when someone tries to correct me for using the correct phrasing.
