This pundit is well known for many anti-Apple sentiments over the years so this is pretty remarkable coming from him.

You could, could you?

The phrase is "I couldn't care less."]]>Jul 26th 2007 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/dvorak-tries-a-mac-he-likes-it/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/dvorak-tries-a-mac-he-likes-it/
>The phrase is "I couldn't care less."

Actually, they are both correct and mean the same thing. I couldn't care less was the original form, with the latter I could care less coming from America and meaning the same thing. Language is a funny creature.

"I could go to the store" does not mean the same thing as "I couldn't go to the store."

When you use "could," you are saying that it is possible for you to care less about said topic, inferring that you have some level of concern.

When you use "couldn't," you are saying that it is impossible for you to care less. You care not about said topic, therefore it is impossible for you to care about it. You can a level of concern, but that level is at the bottom.

So, yes, maybe some stupid people say "I could care less" but they are wrong. What they really mean is "I couldn't care less."]]>Jul 26th 2007 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/dvorak-tries-a-mac-he-likes-it/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/dvorak-tries-a-mac-he-likes-it/

Yes, I realized that after I posted. I figured that instead of cluttering up the comments with a correction post, I'd assume that my fellow Engadget readers would know what I meant.

Guess I was wrong.]]>Jul 26th 2007 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/dvorak-tries-a-mac-he-likes-it/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/dvorak-tries-a-mac-he-likes-it/paloooz occasionally gets upset if you drop one of the "o"s from his name. Methinks he is a language pedant. Truth is, English is full of inconsistencies, contradictions and silliness. Fortunately, if a phrase is in common use, it becomes accepted. For example, where I come from, an acceptable response to paloooz would be:

Everything he says is for publicity. I'm sure the guy hasn't really thought any worse of macs then PC's for the last twenty years, but he uses that angle.
In a well written story you need the hero's and the bad guys. Not everyone can be the hero, he plays the bad guy, the cynic the antagonist. I find it funny how sheepish people are to quickly buy into it.

I think the dude is brilliant, he knows how to get people going and that drives sales/readership. ]]>Jul 26th 2007 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/dvorak-tries-a-mac-he-likes-it/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/dvorak-tries-a-mac-he-likes-it/

The amount of Mac spamming is enough, IMHO, to want to kill all Mac users.
