Sorry to pick on you grammer nazi but if your going to do it right you should follow your own advice
Yes, "YOUR" right his "GRAMMER" was teh sux, also while we're at it when you say you could care less you imply that you do care about the issue, as you have the ability to care less than you currently do about it.
