Shouldn’t it be „me neither“?
Yes it should. Kind of in the same way that it should be “I couldn’t care less” instead of “I could care less” which I’ve seen a lot more in recent years.
Bernie said “could care less” in his response to the sotu last night. Made me cringe.
Literally just talking about that! I agree that the original intent (and, you know, meanings of words) should make it “couldn’t” but I think the two have linguistically drifted together within the phrase.
The rules-boy in me rallies against it, but the descriptivist in me celebrates and I couldn’t care less how he said it.
Wittgenstein said that language isn’t actually semantic in its natural state. Instead, language serves as a sort of game to accomplish social ends.
“I could care less” serves the social end of telling everyone you have no critical thinking skills and shouldn’t be taken seriously.
