NOUN: One who does not care. ETYMOLOGY: Italian : poco, little; see poco + curante, present participle of curare, to care for (from Latin crre, from cra, care). OTHER FORMS: poco·cu·rantism Obviously the young man is not poscocurante about spelling. I think it hopeless to try to observe thread etiquette in AWADtalk. The pace is so fast, by the time you submit a post a couple others have been added.
