Arm co-founder: Sale to Nvidia would be a disaster

I’m (half-)British and I consider “could care less” a hideous American corruption. Recently I successfully argued my case with an American friend, not coincidentally a physicist, by analogy to zero-point energy.

Yes so am I (person you're replying to) - fully - and also consider it both hideous and American.

I wouldn't call it a corruption though, because I've never actually heard it in Britain; just American film and television, and even on HN.

When I hear someone say it, I often respond that "I could care less, but only a little bit" to make the point about that phrase.
