No. "I could not care less" is the original usage. "I could care less" is not meant to convey irony; rather, it communicates confusion over what the expression is intended to mean. The source I quoted in my original post (#10) explains that confusion succinctly. And I see you're very proud of yourself. But has it occurred to you that I may not accept you and your source as the ultimate authorities on the subject? That I could, in fact, care less? You seem to take a proprietary attitude toward Grammar. I find it odd that one would start a thread and then express annoyance when others post on it.
