It costs everyone time and effort to try to decode nonsensical input.

It's a crime against humanity to not correct grammar.

Grammar nitpick derails like this one have wasted far more time than anyone saying "I could care less" ever has
It’s not grammar and it’s not a correction. The phrase “I could care less” has only one meaning and that meaning is “I don’t care”. It is being used correctly.
Does it? I decode it instantly and understand the meaning just like I know what a "fishbowl" is. There is no "decoding" or even nonsensical input in this case.

You are just being stubborn and trying to adhere to an outdated standard. Upgrade or get replaced.

But you are not everyone.
