I 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?

My wife came in to see me swearing at the telly. It was a special 5 minutes "how to Athletes get their heads in gear mini documentary filler before the athletics started. I believe the presenter was a professor of sports science or something (sorry, sumfink). Every other word was athERletes. I was screaming by the end.
Mind you, that George wotsit who pretends to be an architect to do some house renovation programme calls his own profession that of being an "artitect". My inlaws do it too and I now have bitten bottom lip syndrome.
And don't get me started on the times my mother in law has said that she had to get "acrossed the road" or how she had to put the seat belt "acrossed her." Acrossed! That's not even a word.
Aaaaaaargh

I was sitting here thinking "Athlerts? I've not heard anyone call them that..."
