There sure are so many caring people in the world but I thought the internet had evolved past missing "n't"s

If they could care less, it means they must care some. I mean, you can't not care at all, yet care less about it.

so when someone says they "could care less", it should literally mean they care, but not as much.

or, they could not care at all, so caring less would mean they'd be negatively caring?? yeaaah.
