The Caring Continuum

[Patchos]

Please, just please.

But what if you are just care-less and cause an accident are you at fault??

 

[798686]

I couldn't.

 

[luka82]

Is this one of those "smart" threads???
You know I won`t get it!

EDIT: I GET IT, now!

Thanks Patch! That's always been one of my bugbears.

I used to have the same response as David Mitchell, but I've learned to let it slide. I just think of my happy place and the red mist clears.

I can't say the same about 'niche' and 'clique', however. Can everyone stop mispronouncing them? Thanks in advance.

Absolutely brilliant! :biggrin1:

Ha! Brilliant.
I love David Mitchell and his cute little pink cheeks.

Yeh...it's neesh and cleek innit? Not nitch and click.

Yeh...it's neesh and cleek innit? Not nitch and click.

It depends on context for me, though I always pronounce clique as click, I usually say neesh before words like marketing or publication, but nitch if referring to an architectural feature.

When I hear "I could care less", my response is almost invariably "Really? How much less could you really care, then?" It throws 'em off and suddenly it's as if a bulb went off in their dim, dank brains.

I don't think i've ever heard someone say "I could care less" - if I had heard someone say that I am quite sure I would remember the uncontrollable desire to kill it would bring on.

Aww. Are you up for a game of "Dobby and Mark"?

 

[maxcok]

Yo, who gives a fuck?

Same, altho I feel a bit guilty, and wonder if I'm missing something...or if they are just genuinely stupid. :redface:

I also feel like saying "You certainly could, :wink:".
