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

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


Went to Shark Bite yesterday, btw. :y:

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.

:y: 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.).
