Oh, for fuck sakes. I don't want to drag this any further, but the word, "ignorant" in its pure, English dictionary form DOES NOT HAVE A NEGATIVE CONNOTATION! The word is misused by people to have a negative connotation by some people, I guess, but it really does not have, or is intended to have such a slant to it. I used it in its Queen's English form, not the way some people have twisted it to be...please understand this. People who say, "You're ignorant," with the intention of being condescending are not using the word correctly. In university, we ended up wasting a whole English lecture on words like 'ignorant,' 'unique,' & 'couple' and how people frequently misuse them.

Please let this be the last post on this subject.
