Americans, in my experience, frequently say "for all intensive purposes". They're stupid if they say that and you're stupid if you say "could care less". "Couldn't care less" isn't some archaic piece of legacy phrasology that only has meaning based on that one configuration, it's just a straight forward bit of english that means exactly what it should mean based upon the meaning of the words.
