Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think you mean that you _couldn't_ care less

But that's the thing. I literally could.

Making it a thoroughly meaningless thing to say. I could also care less, obviously, since I'm posting here talking about how I do care and find the use annoying, and you disagree and think it doesn't matter.

Telling me that you 'care some non-zero amount' doesn't mean much at all.

The phrase is couldn't care less, that is, 'zero units of care', i.e. you don't care.

my eyes literally rolled so hard my head exploded reading that.

I could care less what you think of my grammar.

I don't understand why people refuse to understand this.

I could care less = I care some amount. Possibly a lot.

I couldn't care less = I care no amount. I do not care.

By which you mean that you _do_ care what they think of your grammar?

Ok this is no fun anymore. I was trolling. I tried to make it blindingly obvious by combining two common grammar pedant triggers in one sentence but people were so keen to be self-righteous that it flew over their head.

I know the correct grammar, and I just think it's sad that people care.

I'm not sure if you think I'm refusing to understand this, but I agree, it's what I'm saying less succinctly in my comment above, with the addition that saying you care some unspecified amount is no use to anyone.

No, it is clear that you understand.

Very cool project! I often hear people talk about this as an idea, but never really getting further than that :) Some suggestions/notes: - Looking at a recipe (e.g. https://www.eathow.com/recipes/219 ) I think you forgot to use a cursor: pointer; on the "Directions" and "Ingredients", to indicate that they are clickable - Someone else mentioned, but you don't have to be so apologetic about wanting money for this :) M…

Thank you :) I'll definitely be rethinking pricing and trials after this.

Don't think. Test.

People on HN might be cheapskates but your target might be willing to whip out their wallet sooner.
