<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2580761, member: 15929&quot;]What you are getting upset about is the very definition of ignorance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Basically, ignorance is the state on &quot;not knowing&quot; which folks almost always confuse with being called &quot;stupid&quot; which is the state of being &quot;unable to learn&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I once got really pissed off with being called ignorant so much so that I looked up the definition of the word to formulate a reply. Much to my surprise, I was absolutely &quot;ignorant&quot; on what I was posting about!</p><p><br /></p><p>Ignorant - &quot;lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about something in particular.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>A person could have an IQ of 180 yet be completely &quot;ignorant&quot; about coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>BUT, knowing the meaning of the word and using it can be two completely different things. Generally speaking, one should not call someone &quot;ignorant&quot; but should instead refer to their ignorance on a specific subject. It might lessen the pain of the word.</p><p><br /></p><p>I only say that since sometimes, folks come on here with a presumption over what they have and no amount of discourse will ever change their minds. They will, IMO, remain blissfully ignorant over what they have and then their heirs will spent it just like any other common piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
