I was correcting the phrase "could care less," which means the opposite of the correct version, "couldn't care less." But it seems very few people even notice the error anymore because it's almost always wrong :-(

If I may participate more fully in the discussion, this thread points up what I've felt from the beginning: INTO THE WOODS has apparently become Sondheim's most popular show (in terms of number of revivals, the fact that it's one of the few to be made into a movie, etc.), but I think that's largely because people respond to the presence of the fairytale characters they love so well, rather than to the actual storytelling of the show, which is flawed (especially in Act II).
