Something that´s always puzzled me - Unsure - why do Americans always say ´I COULD care less´ when they don´t give a damn about something?   In ´British English´ we say ´I COULDN´T care less´.

 

If you say ´I COULD care less´ surely it means that you haven´t yet reached the bottom of your non-caringness and therefore a little bit of you does still care.   But if you say ´I COULDN´T care less´ then it means that you have reached the bottom of your caringness and have no care left!   That makes much more sense don´t you think?

 

Silly bed Americans!  lol lol

God must have created British English to be spoken by a woman. What they call as The Standard English is a language so eloquent and so nice to hear, well, as long as it is spoken by a lady.  It seems that about the time when English was winning over Dutch, the early settlers decided they would sound ridiculously soft when they blew somebody´s head off and, discarded all the exquisite aspects of the language.

 

In British English too, there are certain phrases that sound wrong. One of them is "have got" or "have"

indicating possession. The Brits say "have you money" or "have you got money". God only knows how come "got" got there or why a "special" auxiliary is needed when a simple verb would suffice.

"have you money" is simple present tense, the verb is "have".

 

"have you got money" is present perfect tense, the verb is "get".

 

there is nothing wrong with it.
