This is one of my pet peeves with Americans. ;)

The expression is couldn't care less not could care less.

couldn't care less is short for It isn't possible for me to care less about
this subject because I don't care about it at all (and I'm sure you don't ;)

If you could care less, then it means you must care about it to some extent as
it is possible for you to care less than the amount that you now do.

Never did I see a second sun
Never did my skin touch a land of glass
Never did my rifle point but true
But in a land empty of enemies
Waiting for the tick-tick-tick of the want
A uranium angel
Crying “behold,”
This land that knew fire is yours
Taken from Corruption
To begin anew

Hey, don't steal my pet peeve.  I have posted on this frequently.

Stealing my pet peeve is so gay.
