I would be surprised if it wasn't could care less on Seinfeld. As mentioned before the influence of Yiddish grammar mixed with sarcasm is one theory that I personally think has at least some merit. That influence is apparent on Seinfeld. You should be so lucky. Now this is interesting. Suggesting could care less (used with a sarcastic tone) is OK in spoken English but not OK in written. One might argue that posting online is an INFORMAL use of English as well. "I couldn't care less" vs. "I could care less" : Pardon the Expression | Vocabulary.com

Another source confirming that both usages are correct and mean the exact same thing. Also that could care less is much more of an American usage. This person is skeptical of the sarcasm theory for the development of could care less in the US. The influence of Yiddish grammar is mentioned which is fairly significant In American English. She's right that once lots of people hear a certain usage a lot they tend to repeat it. She's also certainly right that could care less annoys certain people (in my view to an irrational degree).

I suppose it depends. Best to pop them an email and ask. Many years ago I got a tourist visa at the Thai embassy in Buenos Aires. Dealing with them using English wasn't a problem at all.

Keeping it light

The comment section on this video is hilarious! My favorite is from an American who argued for couldn't care less on.a school playground and was beaten up for it. Brits -- I imagine it's hard losing your empire, your Great Queen, and now having an economy weaker than Russia because of your moronic own goal Brexit. But sorry, you lot don't own global English usage. Take that on your biscuit and smother it with gravy.

You're wrong. But no immunity will be offered so there is zero chance the grifter will come in voluntarily.

Poor Melania.

Couldn't care less and could care less are casual idioms that mean the exact same thing. If you fail to understand that, that's your problem.

Thanks for all the replies. Can someone please check the map I posted in the OP to confirm that's still the location? To add my battery is still usable but clearly in the decline phase. I may as well check the new models similar to my current phone to see if there is any compelling reason to upgrade.

Well fair question. I assume phone manufacturers would much rather that everyone with a weak battery buy a new phone. Perhaps they have a cut off date for stocking batteries for older phones. They're not in the businesses for their health. Of course trendy youth want a new model every year or so. When I told the sales lady at the shop what model I had she seemed kind of disgusted like it might have cooties. But obviously that's the place to go but you don’t know until you do.

To reduce risk of explosion / fire. I would never go anywhere but Samsung for this.

Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll flee to Sochi.

Juvenile tactic

What's more much more is that this indictment is only the beginning. But he can still run for president and incite his cultists to terroristic violence

Hardly.

These will be felony charges with the possibility of four years in prison but prison not required. But if convicted some prison is likely. These are not bail eligible offenses. Explained here.

What's really a shame is having a brick wall in the brain preventing people from understanding that both usages are correct. You have a problem with this? Take it up with Mirriam Webster. Or. would you rather just whine about the Big Dict lobby? https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/could-couldnt-care-less Correct Usage: Either

Nobody says that. . These are informak idioms.

They actually are. See link above. To insist the way your prefer is the only correct option is both wrong and obnoxious.

Both are actually correct as I have documented. Or maybe I've been taking the p--s which the terminally literal would insist must involve actual urination.

Is it possible to be creepy and nice at the same time?

My older but still great for me Samsung phone is getting to the point where the battery needs Viagra, so instead of being a typical conformist consumer, I'm thinking, how about a new battery instead of a new phone? So I asked at the Samsung shop in Central and they said the service center can do. But can they really? Has anyone done that there? I assume they don't do it on the spot and you need to leave your phone for later pickup. For how long? Do you recommend removing your Sim card for security? Is it still located here?

Just as Brazilian Portuguese is clearly much cooler than the stodgy old country version.

I really could care less that the very charming use of could care less triggers so many people. I like the reasons of SARCASM and that could care less obviously SOUNDS better. In my cultural experience, using this idiom is usually related to sarcasm. I reject the explanation of lack of education as in my experience highly educated Americans often say could care less. Perhaps I could convert some of you to the SUPERIOR option? Wouldn't that be better than setting yourself up for a lifetime of HURT? Of course it goes without saying that I could care less if you're some kind of masochist. Is It Could or 'Couldn't Care Less? | Merriam-Webster

No need. He will need to show up when indicted.
