Yes, we do seem to have very similar tastes, which is very cool! And please, chat away, I'm always interested in seeing where I differ from others

Oh! Good point about the British-English vs. American English thing. Could very well be true - I really don't know where it started. But it's interesting because the phrase on this side of the pond is usually "I could/couldn't care less." I don't often hear "I could/couldn't give a fuck" so that's very probably a much more British usage, and very possibly the "could/couldn't" variation could have come from American influence. Hmmm.
"I could care less" always bothered my mother something awful, but I've tried to be more zen about it since it really is ubiquitous and it's a fight that we're just not going to win, at least not in the states, and not any time soon. Language is slippery that way.
