“To tell you the truth I could care less if anyone knows exact date trivia. “

That’s like saying “I just want people to understand why math is important, actually being able to solve an algebraic equations is something I could care less about.”

Sorry, dates ARE an important part of history. It is very important to understand timelines and sequencing. If you don’t know dates then you can get suckered by people who play fast and loose with the truth trying to say “a” caused “b.” For sure not if “b” happened before “a.”

The phrase you are grasping for is “I COULD’T care less.” To say that you “could care less” means that you are not at rock bottom.

Truly a throw-away comment but thanks. And I clearly specified exact dates; clearly it is necessary to know the sequence of things.
