What Really Irks Me... The Real Meaning of Ignorance.

One of the small things that has been swimming around my head lately is "vocabulary". You see... I hear too many people going around spitting out words so proudly, but... they continue to use the WRONG meaning. The biggest and most popular misuse of a word is the word "ignorant". For some odd reason, most of us are brought up to think that "ignorance" is a form of "stupidity", when in deed it is not. This here, is the REAL meaning of ignorant:

1.	lacking knowledge: lacking knowledge or education in general or in a specific subject
2.	unaware: unaware of something ignorant of the danger
3.	resulting from lack of knowledge: caused by a lack of knowledge, understanding, or experience an ignorant mistake

In other words_ We are ALL ignorant. The question is "of what?"
For instance, I have no idea how to speak Spanish; therefore, I am ignorant of the Spanish language. I also know nothing about baking from scratch; I am ignorant of baking (from scratch). Now, you can call someone an ignoramus, referring to them as stupid, but then again, it's only stretching the meaning of being ignorant. An "ignoramus" is someone who knows absolutely nothing... Such a person does not exist. People tend to use the term as to insult someone's level of intelligence, but technically speaking, whomever uses this term can be considered "egotistical" and "conceited". Because apparently, this person knows absolutely everything there is to know. Impossible.
[Excuse me if that appeared to be a rant session]
In any case, I find it quite funny that the people who use the word wrongly... are proving that they themselves are ignorant... by simply using the word "ignorant" wrongly to begin with. They are ignorant of the true meaning of ignorance.


A Little Something to Make us Smile...
BUCK-TICK's new album, "RAZZLE DAZZLE" is rearing its precious head right around the corner. October 13th is just this Wednesday [in this case, tomorrow]. Those of us who have ordered the album should be receiving it with in the next couple of weeks [if you live over seas, like I do (America)]. 
In order to help celebrate and endorse B-T's album and anniversary from a far, I'm going to sharpie myself up (pretty much just my arms) with the Razzle Dazzle label and Buck-Tick's name. Corny,... but I don't care. I'll be doing this from today to Thursday (no school on Friday). Aside from buying their 18th album, this is my way of showing my love for BUCK-TICK.
