How many people think “supposably” is a word? Or “irregardless?” I’ve definitely heard people say “for all intensive purposes” or “I could care less.” The latter really annoys me. If you COULD care less, you must have some level of care, but you’re TRYING to imply you don’t care at all, so the correct expression is “I couldn’t care less.”

lol ive already said before as well with the spelling and grammar. i went to resource for it because its something i didnt learn well growing up. plus when im online. talking on a forum. i just dont care enough to correct anything i mess up. and you say there trying to help. fuck that. i no there just doing it to be a dick. it doesnt matter if shit is mistyped. its still getting the point across. so what does it matter. am i being graded in here.
