Between you and I, I could care less
I hope you cringed when you read the title of this post because those two phrases are among the most misused by supposedly educated people. Since this is my blog, I decided it's a good place to air a few pet peeves. The correct phrase is "between you and me". I tried to come up with a mnemonic to remember the correct phrase but I couldn't, so just repeat it 10 times and it's yours forever. (That's what the nuns told me.)I did come up with a rhyme to remember to use "I couldn't care less" instead of "I could care less". Here goes:
I could care less means I care a bit
I couldn't care less means I don't give a ___.
Since this is a Library blog you can fill in the blank. Between you and me, I hope this helps but I couldn't care less.

Thing 24
Since I didn't have a doc to convert to PDF, I copied one , saved it to Word, downloaded Acrobat Adobe, and voila Zamzar did the rest. I also converted a Youtube video, also quite easy. Added the convert button to my links and I'm good to go. Two thumbs up-- useful and easy to use.
