4 drives me round the bend! It means almost the exact opposite of what is trying to be said. If you could care less, then you're neutral, surely? You care a bit, because there are smaller quantities of caring which are available. If you couldn't care less then there is no smaller amount of caring which is possible than the amount you care, in other words you do not care at all.
I hate to be pedantic (well, clearly that's not true or I wouldn't be enjoying this post so much), but isn't it to all intents and purposes not for all intents and purposes? Now I'm saying it both ways to myself and neither sounds right.
