Ignorant does not mean rude!!
I hate it when if someone does something mean to another person, they say "that person is ingnorant." No...they are rude.

Yes, a lot of ignorant comments are rude. For example, "All purple people are cheap". That is, indeed, an ignorant statement.

How is my use of the word irony incorrect?
It's ironic because people are ignorant as to how to properly use the word ignorant.

Perfect example, someone said I was ignorant because I would not let them smoke in my house. That's incorrect.

LOL! I guess it is kind of ironic...I never thought of it, but it's true.
Too bad they're so ignorant that they don't understand the meaning of the word ignorant!

Actually they are stating the person is ignorant of the polite way to do things.....so it is accurate.

Perhaps they mean that the person is ignorant of correct social behavior.

Still, and I think the lexicon will bear with me ... it does seem to fit, doesn't it?
