I hear and read both versions. Logically, 'I could care less' makes no sense, it means you care a lot. Yet I see it so often it is probably not a mistake. Nor does anybody ever seem confused about it, or tries to correct either one. Apparently, rather than meaning the opposite, both have the exact same meaning of 'I don't care'.

Why is that? Why is that? Why is that?

Is it yet another Anglosaxon plot to confuse foreigners? A prank that you're all in? From Alaska to England to New Zealand? Just another one of those genetic designed linguistical defects of the English language, where opposites can mean the same and the same often can mean the exact opposite?

As the properly civilised peoples in the British Commonwealth know, the correct phrase is "couldn't care less", meaning the speaker cares so little about the subject that it is not possible for him to care any less than he already does. However, we forgive the Americans for making this mistake as English is a foreign language to them, since they've been separated from civilisation for over 200 years. There may be plans to invade the Americas and bring culture to these benighted peoples if our government can spare some time, but I doubt it, since we British simply couldn't care less.
