    I have noticed this quite a lot recently. As to the "I could care less", I couldn't agree more. It's like when I hear a warped word, such as "hypoallergetic".
    These days, my computers change so much, all I can say for sure here is ubuntu.

    How 'bout "this is different than that." Argh. It's different from, not different than (or then).

    I remembered that li'l grammar lesson by connecting it with subtraction (the solution of subtracting one number from another is called the difference).
