Just in case anybody missed Which Tyler's subtle humor earlier...
Which Tyler wrote: Does this mean that apostrophe's no longer mean anything because idiots don't know how to use them?
Does that mean that someone who wishes to convey that they could not possibly care less about something can say "I could care less" in direct contradiction of their feelings; make perfect sense?
"Proof of the pudding" is a shortening of a phrase that actually means something; on it's own it's a meaningless half-sentence. It is about as sensical* as "I could"
Grammar, it's the difference between "helping your uncle jack off a horse", and "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" It's a bit like personal hygeine - you're free to ignore it, but do'nt complain when people draw their own conclusions.
* I know, but I like that one anyway
