Maybe they *could* care less (meaning they still care a little and they could lower their opinion). If you *couldn't* care less, well, then that's the end of it.

One does good.That's not entirely correct. For example: I did well on my exam. Good vs Well all depends on the useage of the word; I could "do good" when "good" is used as a noun. I hates grammar anyhow. 无 党派 人士

I did one's, but now I'm not sure if it was right. This thread has got me looking over my shoulder, so to speak. "Invader's blood marches through my veins like giant radioactive rubber pants. The pants command me! Do not ignore my veins!"

Quote:Originally posted by Caite: Okay, here's my pet grammar peeve: I really don't like people who overgeneralize grammar rules. The one that I am thinking of (that I hear most often) is when people want to say something like "Kaylee came over to talk to Mal and me," but because they've always heard that it's "Mal and I" they say that even though it's not correct. The best way to keep from making this mistake is take out the other person. Would you say "Kaylee came over to talk to I?" No, you wouldn't. You'd say "Kaylee came over to talk to me." Next person, por favor. p.s. this is fun in a really sick and twisted way.

Here's what I found: * period and comma within quotes except when followed by parenthetical reference * colon and semicolon outside quotes * dash, exclamation mark, and question mark inside quotes if it applies to the quote itself, but outside quotes if it applies to the whole sentence And people wonder why grammar is so tricky.... I still hates it. 无 党派 人士
