My pet peeve is people who say this expression wrong, because it's not only slightly mispronounced, but entirely turned on it's head to mean the exact opposite of its intention. This reversal of meaning seems clear, so I'm not sure why the error is so prolific, though it does seem more of a thing in other countries like the USA, not so much here.
It's "couldn't care less", not "could care less". You're trying to say "I care so little that it is not possible for me to care any less than I do already".
Instead, by saying you "could care less", you are being ambiguous about how much you care, but confirming that you care at least a little bit (or possibly due to the ambiguity it's the most important thing in your life and you care so, so much).
Sorry if I sound grouchy, it's just something that's bugged me for a long time and here at 5am is when I decided to finally say something about it, haha. No shade on you personally though, as the hip youths would say! :-D
I haven't heard anything from this guy in years and then yesterday I see he gave a speech about that bloke that got shot in America, and now this post too suggesting he's Santa.
Is he making a bit of a comeback? Or just a random coincidence!
You've got a fantastic journey ahead of you by the way, there's like 3 more trilogies directly following on from that one, and together they make up my favourite books of all time <3
The above chap hit the nail on the head in terms of the UK.
Sure, hardcore criminals can get their hands on a gun, but the sort of people who want to cause trouble at a school certainly don't.
I went to one of the worst schools in the country and while some of our students did occasionally murder people out in their private lives (I lived in the biggest shit hole in the country - the government even said so), in the school itself the worst thing I ever saw was a pupil throwing a chair at a teacher. And that was incredibly rare and shocking.
A student did arson one of the maths rooms too but that was over the weekend when nobody was there. They really hated that teacher haha. We had to do the rest of the year's maths lessons in the Hall. So weird.
But ya, that's all the extreme cases, and they're nowhere remotely near "gun" territory. That's just insanity. I never felt unsafe in a school.
Don't you become an informant when they catch you and offer you the deal; You get to walk free for the crime you committed, but have to risk your life spying on your fellow criminals for the fuzz?
Let's say this huge breach of security and privacy is okay.
How are Microsoft ensuring these sensitive documents are not being transferred via or stored on servers located in hostile countries with lax data laws (such as foreign nations like the USA?).
They were allowing kids to use phones in classrooms up to that point...?
When I went to school, if you were seen with your phone out during class it was confiscated until the end of the day. And back then all you could use them for was texting anyway haha.
Anything that might distract from the lesson would be treated the same way, that's just basic sense for any teacher.
Why would teachers stop caring about phones in classrooms, especially given how famously addictive and problematic to attention etc we now know them to be?
Recipes that don't specify things in grams and millilitres can go screw.
"Now add a traditional american furlong of bushel sauce to the 25 ounce pot until it bubbles up by five and a smidge horse hands" ... yeah, no 😅
