"I Could Care Less"

Does this phrase annoy anyone else?

Example
"I could care less about that bastard"

This makes NO sense. I hear people saying it on tv and shows all the time, and it annoys me.

If you could care less about someone then that means that you don't fully disregard them, that you could actually care less about them, another words you still don't fully dislike or hate them.

"I couldn't care less about that bastard" is the correct phrase.

to that phrase.
