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?

throw in a touch of dyslexia and you have my wife's eternal amusement in life...I can't pronounce anything right unless I'm lucky enough to have heard someone else say it first, and even then half the time I just think there's two different words.
Some of my personal versions of words I stand by as making more sense than the originals - the first that comes to mind is I thought for ages mediocre was "medicore" (and pronounced it as such)
Medium, core = middle of the ground = medi-core, it just made sense. It even sounds boring. While mediocre sounds kind of of interesting, a mediterranean color of rich deepness or something... completely doesn't work.
Everyone should use Medicore, maybe then I'd get laughed at less often when I slip and use my version by accident =)
