I like the names Nuala, Uma, Priti (means peace/love/satisfaction in sanskrit) and Altru, which are all taken. What is another name that has a nice exotic but simple sound and great meaning?

I asked a question about someone being ignorant of a certain subject. Now the last time I checked the definition of ignorance was lacking in knowledge. For instance, I am very ignorant in the subject of math, but in Literature and History I am very knowledgable. I stated a statement of ignorance and this person called me ignorant because I said some people are ignorant of a certain subject. (pertaining to subject in pregnancy and home births). Now, has the dictionary term for ignorant changed, or do they take it as a term for stupid or something?

What does the expression "Off the hook" mean? It seems like it's used mostly in the States. Will be greatly appreciated.

Release

Hold tight to my hand through this starless night,
Until the angels soar when dawn has broke.
Putting up with these everlasting fights,
Unknowing, what great war you have invoked.

Trace your footprints back down the path you came.
Hopelessly, you regret their every flaw.
Create a future, now ridden of shame.
Then deny every once forbidden law.

Release the spirits you’ve hidden within.
Fly above with honest angels of light.
Beyond common comprehension of sin,
Slowly discover all you’ve missed in sight.

Cut the chains and begin to break away,
Though memories are to forever stay.

I've just joined Yahoo!Answers today, and I can tell a lot of young people use it. I'm appalled at how many of these kids spell horribly! Skool? (school) Frend? (friend) Even simpler words such as "what" (wat), "said" (sed). Argh!!! And the need to shorten every other word! 4 instead of four. U instead of you. Ur instead of your. B4 instead of before. Or not using your quotation mark in words such as they're, aren't, you'll, I'm, isn't.

It drives me up the wall. =)

This word, I believe begins with an "S" and the definition or meaning is: to change around wording to benefit you or to make a ruling in your favor.
