that's my biggest peeve right there. I learned the correct phrase from my older brother when i was little and started using it, and then I heard all my friends saying "I COULD care less". I even tried explaining to them that it didn't make sense but none of them seemed to get it. If you could care less, that means you have to care some in order to care less, so that really says nothing about your level of care other than the fact that you do actually care. The phrase "I COULDN'T care less" means you have no care at all. Granted, this is more of a logical thing than a grammatical thing, it pisses me off. I used to think it was just my dumb friends that said it, but then I heard it on tv, and now finally, someone feels the pain I feel.
