I know "could care less" is the US version of this expression, but
it's inaccurate. Think about it: if you could care less, that implies
that you do care a little - which is not what you mean; you actually
mean "couldn't care less".

My American trophy wife -- the ultimate word smith -- has
a "from and to" rule:

"I take something FROM you"

"I give something TO you"


Not sure how that relates to the "care less" discussion. If it relates
to the debate whether to us different from, different to, or different
than, I'm not sure how it would help there either.

At the end of the day, I wasn't asking to kill the pandas, I was simply asking
for an audit in terms of conservation resources, and I stand by every word.
