The rest of your corrections fly, and are good catches.
The final correction is an article at the end of a thought followed by a comma, not by a period, it technically works.

The correct phrase is, "I couldn't care less" - if you think about it, it makes more sense. However, more people say that one incorrectly than correctly, which has made the incorrect version more acceptable than the correct one.
Putting an "s" at the end is fine, putting an apostrophe "s" is not fine.
The final correction is a preposition, not an article. As such, it should not be placed in that position in your sentence. (It is the same premise that sentences should not end with prepositions.)
Once again though, I was just messing with you.
