No you're right. Lots of people just can't be bothered looking up the actual phrases and just try to spell it phonetically after hearing it - usually with horrid spelling. It's like when people say "here here" instead of "hear hear".

It's a small thing but it really grinds my gears.

This one is weird for me. The original usage is "I couldn't care less." Saying that you care so little that you couldn't possibly care any less. "I could care less" said with a sarcastic tone, is saying that you care enough that you could care less about it but since it's sarcastic you're essentially saying you could not care less but with some bite. I think most of the time people just don't know what they're saying but sarcastically saying "I could care less," very dryly, hits harder than "I couldn't care less."
