<p>[QUOTE=&quot;usmc60, post: 2573567, member: 76739&quot;]GD I agree with you on your statement. And I am I individual who gets extremely upset when someone calls meet ignorant because I have not learned something yet. I believe that is a word that should not be used it&#039;s a very insulting and derogatory word and a lot of people take that word in the wrong contexts. When someone calls me ignorant in my eyes there calling me stupid. Whether they mean to are not but that&#039;s the way I interpret that word and I know a lot of people that interpret that word the same way. and some of those people&nbsp; Most likely will knock your teeth out than to hear that word come out of your mouth again. I know ignorant and the term that is supposed to represent. But like everything else on CT people interpret words their own way. And the majority of people I&#039;ve talked to. Since everyone likes my colorful phrases. The majority of people that collect just for fun do not really care about words and interpretation or proper definitions of certain words They really don&#039;t care. All they care about is how cool that coin looks. That&#039;s why people on CT tend to drive people away because are so anal-retentive about the proper terms being used. I know people that collect coins and put them in 5 gallon water jugs. Or have a box that they just throw them into. In my opinion the hard-core collectors on CT need to back off sometimes and let the novelist enjoy what they&#039;re doing. If they stick around they will pick up on the lingo and the proper terminology. But the lifers of coin collecting. Tend to push it a little too much in the beginning for new members. And if you haven&#039;t notice in today&#039;s age people are not likely to take criticism so lightly. I was sitting at the restaurant one morning having breakfast. The gentleman come over to me. I have seen this gentleman in the restaurant on several occasions. He reached into his pocket and pulled out this dime. And he explained to me that he&nbsp; heard me discuss coins with my friends. And you would know what this dime was. I explained to the gentleman that I&#039;m just an every day collector but I will be glad to look at his dime. I immediately noticed a spot on the rim. And due to the different colors in the material. I told him I said Sir someone has put some solder on this dime. That&#039;s all it is. He just looked at me smiled and walked away. I had a feeling that this was on purpose. Because you never know who you will meet in the public.USMC60[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
