"I've been saying it wrong my whole life!"
"I couldn't care less."

[Lillithina]

And lots of native English speakers can’t even grasp this concept 😅

[-TheOnlySal-]

"I could care less means you care a bit"

Mike: "But I do care a little?"

I am a fluent english speaker from the US but i watch all of your videos lol. They are just so entertaining!!!

[raeyourfriend]

Love your content! I am deaf and ASL is my first language. I love that you explain in such simple way that I could grasp much better.

[frogge]

Everyone I know says “I could care less” instead of “I couldn’t care less, ” but my whole entire life I thought saying “could” instead of “couldn’t” was correct because of my friends and family but this proved my point 😭😭

I'm Thai. I really like this channel. I like the English presentation. And your voice is so lovely to listen to.

[Heavens]

Your voice and performance is unique. 👍🏻👏🏻

I'm non native and English is our second language in my country. I'm so glad I found this clip or should I say this channel? Cause I've already watched a lot.

[almost_homo_sapiens]

In Cambridge Dictionary are mentioned the both phrases and mean the same.

[passportmissy]

This phrase really confuses me for the longest time before because it doesn't make sense to me, l always thought "l couldn't care less" makes more sense. Now I am happy this phrase is corrected and justified. ❤❤ Thank you. 😊

[lauralicata]

most native english speakers say this one wrong too haha

[pandabear]

She is so pretty and really helps my english

[StayAIive]

Yes, native speakers make this mistake all the time and it makes me really upset!

[lilsykos]

I'm a native English speaker (born and raised in South Carolina so some might disagree with this point) but I still love these videos. I don't know why but I really enjoy hearing her pronounce certain letters, like 'p' or the 'puh' sound. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[AdmiralPenguin]

I believe that phrase is a contradiction in itself. If you don't care, then you can easily ignore the event at hand. But you do, that is why you are responding. I suppose it depends on how you define the word 'care.'

[Ro-yijg]

Not everyday you find Wonder Woman correcting your english

[mitsuriforlife]

THANK YOU FINALLY SOMEONE THAT UNDERSTANDS ME!!! EVERYONE SAYS COULD AND I SAY IT WRONG

[josephdumbledore]

My opinion is that both are acceptible because one is sarcastic.

[brymori]

I learned that there's a specific type of term for sentences with double negatives. Like "I couldn't do no more." couldn't and no being both "negative" but I forgot what's that term is.
