Get it RIGHT!!!

Well I just posted this on TeenLinks website, but I'm also posting it here for your viewing pleasure!

there are a few terms and a few words spoken today that are too often abused... among the list:

"I could care less." Well thank you for your concern...but I think you meant to say that you actually couldn't care any less, as the saying goes. If you could care less this means that there is some degree of care present, whereas if you couldn't care less, you care as little as possible.

"you know?" No. Whoever you're speaking to probably doesn't know, which is why you're explaining it.

"think outside the box" A statement so cliche that it contradicts itself

"I love you" Do you really? because just yesterday you weren't talking to me, and a week before you didn't even know me. The term seems to have lost its meaning within our generation to the point where the response to "I love you" could be nothing more than "ok."

Profanity...Need I say more. While I tolerate the fact that sometimes the best type of word to truly exemplify emotion is the obscene, profanity begins to lose its meaning when it's overused. Not only does it reflect badly on the person who uses it, it also shows a lack of vocabularly. And it amuses me how just by sticking "the" in front of a word can change it from a negative to a positive. Less is more in this case.
