Jmac: Nah. The only reason the first version "works" is because it's become an accepted part of the English language. Taken literally, you could care less. You care. Just because you realise that it means you have a slight inkling of caring, doesn't mean the next guy will. Maybe it's interpreted to mean, hey, I care some. Now, while typing this, something did occur to me. It could mean "I'm impartial," as in, "Well, I suppose I could care less." But the way it's generally used is a negatively connotated phrase meaning "I don't care, this is dumb." That would be "I couldn't care less," emphasizing the fact that this is a waste of time.
So they really do not mean the same thing. "I'm impartial," or "THIS IS A BLOODY WASTE OF MY TIME!"

Now while typing, what did occur to you is correct. Which brings me back to both statements work now shhh.

Blah. They don't mean the same thing, but I suppose they could be used. "Could care less" just seems so silly... |
