26 days agoIt’s not that one’s better than the other, it’s just that the idiom was originally one way (“couldn’t”), and then everyone kept saying it wrong until it sounded right, just like with “literally.” Logically, you’re argument is unsound and historically incorrect, but trying to argue against the evolution of language is futile and ultimately regressive. So you say it however you want, old idioms are lame anyway.
