    As far as I’m concerned that’s an error and should be fixed. They wouldn’t have dialog in the game saying “would of” or should of” instead of have, so they shouldn’t have this error either.
    inflection is also an issue people dont always inflect or place emphasis in the right parts of the sentence.

    It seems extra weird when they tend towards overly 'proper' or archaic English... unless "could care less" is somehow the older form.

    Otherwise, it just seems really out of place.
