"I couldn't care less" and "I could care less" mean the same thing, amirite?

"I couldn't care less." means "I care as little as possible." or, basically, "I don't care." Because you can't care any less than you already do. "I could care less." means "I care." Because if it's possible for you to care less, then obviously you must care, at least a little bit.

but when most people use "i could care less" they usually mean "i don't care"

Yeah, but that doesn't make them right. :)

it doesn't matter what they mean, that's not what they're actually saying

i know that, but people use both phrases interchangeably

People use the word gay to mean stupid, that doesn't mean it's right.

i guess i used poor wording then but i meant that it has developed into the same thing

The correct saying is "I couldn't care less" but somewhere long the way it got misconstrued into "I could care less" to mean "I don't care at all" which makes no sense because when you say " I could care less" you imply there is room for less carring and therefore, you care a little.

but with this "fat chance" is said sarcastically but, yeah, it is a strange language

I think "I could care less" could be a little sarcastic?
