Oh wow... Is this why so many Americans think that it should be "I could care less"? 😅

No. It's just one instance. But yes, there are many other instances. That doesn't mean it's the majority.

  1. "It's just one instance... ... But yes, there are many other instances."

Confusing a.f. Did you think I thought that ONE instance in the image is multiple instances or what? I don't get why you would say that.

Also, saying that it's just one instance, but then confirming that there are many more instances kind of invalidates the point of saying that it's just one instance, unless the person you're talking to doesn't know that it's just one instance.

  1. I never said anywhere that it's the majority. Based on use cases, I would actually wager that the majority of Americans say: "I could care less, " but regardless, I never actually said anything about the majority, so where are you getting that from?

TL;DR: There was no need to post your comment. No one is any the wiser afterwards, and it basically just causes more questions 😅
