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?

During my year abroad from uniI spent the first half of the year in France, and it being 1994 the bookshops were full of 50th anniversary histories of D-Day, or Jour-J as it was known to the locals.
Spool forwards a few months and I'm in Germany, when I mention this to my German roommate and wonder aloud if in German it would be T-Tag.
"No" he said, "we called that 'Invasion day'"
