this is my pet, his name is peeve

I hate when people say.....

1) I could care less.

Really? So there is is plenty of room for you to care less, which means that you actually do care about this thing that I am pretty sure you are trying to claim that is of no significance to you.

I think you mean you COULDN'T care less. Which means you are at the bottom of your caring.

2) Fine.

This is particular word falls in the range of, you looked fine, you did fine, it tasted fine.

Lets be less vague and say how we actually feel.

I think you looked fat up there, you could have done better, I didn't like the way it tasted.

All seem harsh, but to me, I would rather a person be honest with me.

I know fine never really is.
