I wonder why so many people say "I could care less" (as in "CBS could have cared less") when they really mean I could NOT care less?

Yes, I've picked up on this as well. They're saying the exact opposite of what they intend. (If they could care less, they do care some)

Our next lesson will be on the meaning of "is" vs "are" (/sarcasm)
