Yes, they actually do, because they think those words are what a computer is and they have no clue what a hard drive or CPU is. The only one that really bugs me is referring to a computer as a monitor, because those people still know the difference between a TV and a VCR.Quote:

stormy has politely pointed out one of the most common phrases that people cannot fucking get right. Think about what the hell you're saying, please. If you COULD care less, the meaning you're trying to get across is completely ruined. COULD NOT CARE LESS. Thank you.Quote:

There's no spell check for expressions. When people mess up and say "could care less", it's because they've heard it that way their whole life, and probably never *really* thought about it one way or another.

That's pretty bad except when Dr. Evil said it in whatever Austin Powers. ;)Quote:
