probably already been said, but "i could care less" is the 'correct' (albeit nonsensical) saying. try google.

incorrect usage of apostrophe's.

i bet the average person who [censored] this up has an iq 15 points lower, on average, than a person who knows the language.

if i see someone write "book's", i am probably dealing with an idiot. that simple. it is just SO easy, i don't see how on earth someone can [censored] it up. other things like there/their/they're...i don't know they don't bother me so much. although "your a moron" is deliciously ironic.

the other "intelligence indicator" is "should of". only an idiot would ever write that (think that's how it's written).

A good one to get into the habit of saying, and a drab monotone delivery is essential, is, 'I have no strong feelings nor opinions about this matter.'

Amazing, I've been looking to expand my small talk beyond "I am not qualified to give my opinion on this matter."

A lot of the time, I use apostrophes where I shoud be using quotes. I think they look better. I put things in italics to emphasize things that don't really warrant emphasis.

If you're writing a report for work, or handing in an essay at school, these things matter. Posting in a poker forum... eh, notsomuch

seeing "noone" (typed as one word) bugs me a lot
