Default Couldn't care less vs Could care less?

anybody else notice how some say could care less when they really should say couldn't care less?

this seems particularly true of Americans Ive noticed. To say you could care less implies that you do actually care, surely?

which do you say?

VOTE NOW

and no wise cracks about how you couldn't care less about this thread topic

couldnt care less makes sense where as could care less doesnt make sense at all in that context.

Yeah I've seen both used, "could care less" doesnt make sense though, unless it's supposed to be sarcastic but that doesnt really come across

It actually annoys me when people use 'Could care less'. It means that you care!!!
