IgnoranceI once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

I was perfectly fine with brought and bought until someone on here once made a big deal about it...And then I became paranoid I might do it wrong, so of course now I bloody well do. Same with pronunciation. I know vinyl is pronounced one way and not the other, but because I stress that I have to get it right I can never remember which way. I've taken to just saying them both one after the other. Vin-l vine-l.

But bought and brought are two different words which mean different things, not a difference in pronunciation.
