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?

IM conversation between me and my former boss concerning an unhygenic member of staffMe: God that cough of his is fucking rank
Boss: Yes it is
Me: Can't we kill him?
Boss: I have no objection to this
Me: You do it. You're virtually autonomous in your new role. If I do it there'll be a fuckload of paperwork to deal with.
Boss: Explain that word
Me: Paperwork is a term popularised in the late 20th Century, prevalent in office-based workplaces. In the modern day and age it is something of a tautology as many offices are now paperless.
Boss: Funny fucker ain't ya

Not really noI (lazily) decided to reproduce this account word-for-word. When I originally typed all of the above I knew I was unlikely to be challenged on the meanings or spellings of any of the fancy-pants words I wheeled out.
Basically this post is super-double-meta-clever because it highlights MY ignorance as well as HIS.
Good, eh.
