I'm an English teacher, so obviously I'm aware of a lot of mistakes. Well, I'm also from the mid-west (Cincinnati), which trumps knowledge and makes me say things like "needs tuned" etc... HAHA!! I don't think I'd write that phrase but I'd definitely say it. HA!

I could care less about these grammatical points. 

Its not an important subject like nuculer power or something.....

On a more serious note, when I moved to Pittsburgh 5 years ago I had to learn the peculiar idiosyncrasies of the native tongue.  I'm still learning.  For example, in Pittsburgh you might hear someone say "that guitar needs tuned," or perhaps,"that car needs fixed." 

At first I started using that sentence construction as a joke around my partner to prove I was assimilating. After awhile I'm shocked to hear myself slipping it into my everyday speech by accident because I hear it so much around me that it is starting to sound correct in my mind.

i hope "i could care less" was used ironically. because it's almost meaningless, mean you care some indeterminate amount that is more than the minimum you could possibly care. you could say i "couldn't care less" and that might make some sense. and it is one of my peeves.

Of course it was ironic, hence the italics setting it apart from the rest of the sentence.  Its also as meaningless as the next example I gave, because as far as I know, there is no such thing as nuculer power.

I'm also from the midwest.  I'm not sure what's wrong with "needs tuned" as that's just how it's said here.
I'm willing to learn. Let me know what I'm doing wrong!

Around our house, we get lazy sometimes & shorten up words/phrases, ie; "Reezebanuff".

In a conversation:

"Tony, would you mind me taking the back roads instead of the freeway since it's a nice sunny day for a country drive?"

Response.

"Sounds reezebanuff to me"

I recently heard "bofem" which is a shortened spoken version of "both of them."

i just thought that was a spelling mistake. i don't care about spelling as much so i didn't notice.

Now, don't get me started on "irregardless".

LOVE stainless steel frets...

but try them out yourself and see if you like the feel.

....getting back to the hijack tangent.....  another one I always notice is when people speak about "the foreseeable future."  Exactly how far into the future can one see?  Of course I know what people mean when they say it, but it always derails my train of thought when I hear it.
