Paramount to Drop Blu-Ray for HD-DVD
JM78 writes to tell us The New York Times is reporting that Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks Animation will be dropping support for Blu-ray Disc and going solely with HD-DVD for their next gen DVDs. "Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation, said consumers seeking to switch to high-definition DVDs will be enticed by the movies available for HD-DVD players. He added the lower price for the Toshiba devices will appeal to the family market. 'It's a game-changer, what they're doing, and it's why we decided to throw in with them,' Katzenberg said."
That would make perfect sense if any of those words were actually used. However, when "could care less" is used the speaker normally neither speaks, nor implies, any "but..." clauses in what they say.
Ergo the speaker/writer when using that phrase is normally a moron who isn't really thinking about what they're saying, just repeating stock phrases they've either misheard (as in the infamous "all intensive purposes") or heard misspoken.
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
