Michael DiGiacomo Happy English
About this episode
As you may already know, I’m a huge music lover. But as for sports, frankly, I couldn’t care less. For all I care, all the local teams could lose and it wouldn’t bother me! Would you care to know why?

The verb care is an interesting word in English because it has a number of uses as well as idioms that are common in everyday English conversation.
