When it comes to "I could care less" that just shows that the speaker is so ignorant they can't understand the concept of the double negative. You may think it's irony, but I've observed that most of the people who use the phrase don't know what irony is either.
What if someone wishes to convey that he, indeed, is capable of caring less
than he does and that piece of information is important to assert empathy? π

No doubt there will soon be a lengthy OP from Grampy Bobby where he produces all manner of statistical analysis in an attempt to show that threads where he posts, or threads bearing his OP are, when scrutinised through a specific numerical filter, more vibrant, more popular and of more revenue generating efficacy than anyone else's.
