Massive sale!' Up to' 70% off.
It's the 'up to' part that annoys me. (Usually written in small text). So from a a distance it appears that everything in the shop is 70% cheaper, when in reality it's just the flowery shirt and saggy puffer jacket.

Stupid phrase which should be said as "I couldn't care less"
"Live for today"
When tomorrow is so close, we need to consider it at least a little bit.
"Literally" e.g. "That was so funny it literally killed me"
So what are you now, a zombie?[/b]
I use that all the time "I could care less" , I know you are using the right way of saying it. I will still probably continue to say "I could care less". 😉

I've used it all my life. I know well educated people that use "I could care Less" all the time, does that make them stupid?
We have people from all over the world who play on this internet chess site. Many do not have ENGLISH AS THEIR NUMBER ONE LANGUAGE. The well educated people I am talking about do have English as their number one language and still use it, go figure.
So don't be too quick to point fingers at others. How many Languages do you speak Maiden Gertrude?

not knowing the difference
but to know and still use it is stupidity
I have trouble with one language
but I would not continue to use something that was wrong
it's just plain stupid
all my love, Gerty

Do you realize people would consider you to be stupid because you only know one language, which you admit not well at that? Just something for you to ponder, when your not kissing certain butts. 😛
