Well, common means "widespread" and "generally used", which the term "could care less" isn't, hence why I haven't heard it.

How the hell would you know anyway? You live in Finland, it's not like you're sitting around in some bastion of English-speaking culture and literature.

He has plenty of investments in telecoms around Latin America too. He bought the major provider in my country from Verizon at the start of this year. The guys is expanding his business pretty aggressively. I have to say though, he has a hell of marketing staff.

edit: Also this is old news, he was declared richest man on earth months ago.

He said "Hola, como stas?" to me, and I said "hello. I'm fine."

That's awesome.

Why was he buying all the PS3s?

Ah yes, because I'm an ignorant finn (and a nerd, obviously, that would had been your next low blow anyway) I only use english to type on the internet. Surely there is no possibility whatsoever to have a job where I would be required to speak English every single day.

Keep fighting the good fight, lad. I'm going to bed.

I don't know. A lot of their higher executive people came into the store to buy two things: Game systems or cell phone pouches.

Surely there is no possibility whatsoever that you could rationally accept that someone who lives in an English speaking country, surrounded by millions of other English speakers, and speaking the language since the age of three, is going to be more well versed on English sayings and/or colloquialisms, and the English language in general, than someone who lives in a country where English is NOT the primary language, has not spoken it their whole life, and is not exposed to a large number of English speakers, all from different areas and dialects, daily?

I didn't think so.

Who am I kidding, I like pointless argument and unnecessary controversy just as much as you; I think I've made that perfectly clear since I arrived here in January.

However the phrase is "could not care less", and always has been.

p.s I wouldn't call you a nerd because I'm not into cheap name-calling or low blows unless the person is a complete moron (which I do not consider you to be) and deserves it. The fact that you're Finnish wasn't meant to be an insult either; merely pointing out the fact that English is not your "natural" language.
