It's idiotic to say "I could care less", assuming that the other knows that "could" actually needs to be "couldn't". These words mean opposite things. Therefore you can't interchange them without looking like a fool who doesn't know the actual meaning of what he is saying. IMHO.

I'm not lobbying in favor of "I could care less", but crusading against it is like attempting to command the tide. Whether we like it or not (as I said, I don't use "I could care less") "I could care less" is an idiom that means the same thing as "I couldn't care less". Perhaps it
ought to mean the opposite, but it doesn't.
