I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like its a peach of cake.

Could of. Other things could be a simple typo or something. There is no way you can type "could of" on accident and no way anyone thinks it even approaches proper grammar.

It irrationally bothers me more than stuff like to/two/too, your/you're, etc., because it changes the meaning beyond even a typo/lack of education. "Could care less" literally means you DO care, since you CAN care less, and thus it defeats the entire point of the phrase in the first place. ARGH!

Let's not argue about our irrationality. Let's be irrational together.

My sig used to be "How come no one on the Internet knows the difference between lose and loose?"

I swear it is wrong 90% of the time and drives me crazy. I'm big on spelling and all of the classic too/to/two and their/there/they're make my eye twitch haha. I'm always amused when people are arguing online in comments and someone breaks out the "Your a idiot" The fact they mess up twice in 3 words is just chef's kiss.

Could care less is perfectly fine though. If I couldn't care less I wouldn't even acknowledge it, but I could care less means you at least brought up a subject I care enough to acknowledge.

Pretty much nobody uses it that way, though. 99.9999% of people use "could care less" in a way where they clearly should have put "Couldn't care less." Thus, they defeated their own statement of disinterest.

The average person who uses "could care less" is trying to show how much they don't care/how much they're disinterested, and thus, they truly meant "Couldn't care less." That's the problem.

I'm definitely not saying that isn't the case for most people but I unironically use "I could care less" precisely for the reason I outlined.

These are better than most pointless prescriptive rules that get taught but aren't real (fewer vs lesser, prepositions that sentences end in, capitalize "Good Morning," etc.) but still mostly useless nitpicking.
https://youtu.be/I6duEGj04Mg?si=5_dMTCXpMh9tZo4G

If the language is clear and understandable, get over it. Alot, would of, could careless whisper, your a wizard. There's enough issues between auto-correct, ESL writers, cultural dialects, etc. Don't be pedantic.

I don't like misuse of "performative actions," which half this board is guilt of, but it'd be weird to call it out. If something is performative then the action of performing it IS doing the thing. For example, gender expression is performative - wearing a dress to look more feminine reinforces the idea of being feminine.
It's not a half-hearted passive activism done by putting on a performance.
