Actually, the word 'ignorant' is not at all ambiguous. It is an absolute term which strictly means a lack of knowledge or awareness. It is not meant to be used in any negative manner...it is misused in that way though, much like the words, "unique" or "couple" which are misused by err, ignorant people.
