So I've just rewatched the Buffy season 2 episode, "The Dark Age". In the scene where Giles tells Buffy to stay out of his business because it's "private", Buffy replies: "I don't care from private! I care from dead guys attacking us."
Is this... "care from" ... phrase common/correct grammar? Common regional grammar, maybe? I feel like I would use "care about" in those sentences. I don't think I ever hear anyone say "care from" like that. But then, I've obviously seen this episode before, a few times probably, and I don't remember this question occurring to me before, so maybe it's something that *used* to be common and has faded from my vocabulary since 1998? Or am I just totally living under a rock and lots of people say this all the time?
