For fuck's sake, it's '.. couldn't care less.'

COULDN'T care less. Not could care less.

Fuck it pisses me off.

There we go, just letting that out.

Yeah, if you could care less that's not really saying something.


Went to Shark Bite yesterday, btw.

 

[THE Brian Kendrick's Biceps]

On the topic of grammatical issues. One thing I've never understood is the use of parenthesis, wats the idea with shit like this...

"...then, after recovering the body, [he] jumped over the fence and escaped..."

possibly a bad example, but i see that a fair bit in news articles and what not. I dont get it, because sometimes you can't read the sentence without the word in the brackets. whats the go, there?

I believe it's to make the story flow better, but it's ridiculous how much it's used sometimes.

Yeah, I don't know if it's Shark Bait or Bite, it's great though.

And for the newspaper thing, I've never got it either and wonder every time I read the paper.

[xxx] denotes that you've replaced a word to make a quote gramatically correct within it's context.

The word in (whatever) square brackets (are called) SHOULD be read.

The common use you see is "he" replaced by "[Bob]" (e.g.).
