"Could Care Less" - Please Stop

Comma generally employed after a dependent clause (the prepositional phrase: "for all intent[s] [and] purposes) which starts the sentence (two or more words in the clause is a good rule of thumb, though I usually employ it even with single adverbs)

"Could care less" means the same thing as what is implied only when arguing from the perspective of illocution (implication derived through non-literal communication; e.g., is the salt down there honey? = pass the salt)

My own beef with people's grammatical mistakes is when people incorrectly use the phrase "begs the question." In written form, nothing frustrates me more than when the oxford comma is omitted, though mistakes like run-on sentences, split infinitives (there are exceptions), improper use (or lack) of apostrophes, and fragments drive me batty.

^ Forumquest is another matter of course. Illocution for the win.

The question is begged thusly: bitch are your retarded, fucking retarded, autistic or just dum?

No fucks were given in the production of this thread, and any resemblance to a fuck being given in this thread are entirely accidental, and by no means intended to suggest that any fuck actually was given.

Those tits DO NOT make up for her personality. I'd kill myself before I had to spend an hour in the same room with her.
