Re: Just realised I DO care about the US spelling, after-all
"...could care less..."
This is a translation of "couldn't care less."
Not so much a translation as a complete reversal of meaning. If I "could care less" it means I care more than I might, which is probably not what the speaker intended to express. Such usage is primarily the result of sloppy thinking, not of national linguistic differences.
