Grammar
could, or couldn't, care less
Which one is it that in fact means "I don't care".
This is confusing to me. I heard both used in the same way to show indifference; so which one is the correct use? Thank you.

The correct form is 'I couldn't care less'. The idea is 'I care so little that it would be impossible for me to care any less'. 'I could care less' is typically said by people who don't really think about what they are saying.
