<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yes, but I'm a normal human being, not a grammarian. Thus, it simply means "one of a kind" to me, and that's a very broad term</div>

I find that meaning can be conveyed just as easily and consisely with grammar that's not perfect; I'm a "sounds right" person. But I do think it's important to choose my words carefully.</div>

I know it's anal, but everytime I hear it misused, I want to stop people and give them a quick lesson in correct usage. ;) Internet wise, using "your" instead of "you're" is easily number one.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>No, people use it because everybody else uses it and they don't really know the correct usage. "I could care less" can and has been used in sarcastic contexts, but most people say it because they don't know they really mean "I couldn't care less". Yes, I am the Arbiter of Language Usage! :)</div>
