Roster Moves: (Part II) Gostisbehere, 2022 2nd, 2022 7th to AZ, cap relief in return

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

Since we have established (wisely, imo) that “I could care less” is a perfectly cool thing to say, can we move on to something that is NOT cool to say, although it appears all over the place?

You do not say, “I could of had a V8”. Or, “I should of known better.”

You say, “I could have had a V8.” Or, “I should have known better.”

I mean, hell- the Beatles even wrote a song titled “I should have known better.”

Remember- “have”, not “of”.

I’ll show myself out.

The English language (d)evolves by making acceptable what we are too lazy to get right in the first place.

In Defense of I Could Care Less
Click to expand...
How do I know when to use "couldn't care less" and when to use "could care less" if I don't care at all about something? Which one is the correct sentence? | Ask The Editor | Learner's Dictionary

"Couldn't care less" and "could care less" are both used to mean someone doesn't care at all, but English teachers and grammarians will say that only "couldn't care less" is correct, so that is what you should use in formal or academic writing.''

Funny how Merriam-webster and english professors are of the opinion that ''I could care less'' is grammatically incorrect, just as I said.

Which would make you

Since another thread has gone to sh*t, I’ll join in.
I don’t think people are saying “could of” but rather “could’ve”. This is probably also poor grammar but an excepted form of slang at the very least.

now back to what a horrible franchise the Flyers are…

True, but they write "could of". No doubt "could've" is the source of the problem.

Kind of remarkable how defense is the trade of based pretty much entirely on lying about what has been argued and appeal to authority.

Just the norm when it comes to justifying most of what this team does. That's apparently the only way it can be done.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe he’s saying he could care less but only minimally? No one said he was saying that he had zero cares. Therefore he’s not wrong and both are correct statements.

So in addition to people thinking they know more than all 32 GM's in the NHL, now you are going to tell them to hold your beer and dispute something taken directly from Merriam-Webster and english professors. Can't even make up this level of ignorance.
