And it's "Belated happy birthday", not "Happy belated birthday". The birthday never comes late, but the happy-wishing may.

#1 - I think both are actually acceptable but the first is probably frequently misused. I grew up with the phrase: "Eh, I could care less." meaning that it wasn't that important but I didn't hate it.
