⚠️ Important Note

In everyday English, people rarely say “care less” alone.

More common expressions are:

❗ couldn’t care less

Meaning: not care at all.

Example:

• I couldn't care less about their gossip.
  → I don't care at all.

❗ could care less (common but confusing)

This phrase is common in American English, but logically it sounds strange.

Example:
