I've noticed a trend of using it to mean neglectful, ie. someone who ignores is ignorant. Which, if you're one of those people, IT DOES NOT MEAN.
It bugs me, but I wonder... will these ignorant people change its meaning through relentless misuse?

lack of expertise is the state in which one lacks expertise, is unaware of a few thing or chooses to subjectively ignore about assistance. this may no longer be puzzled with being unintelligent, as one's aspect of intelligence and aspect of steerage or regular knowledge are not any further an similar. The note "Ignorant" is an adjective describing someone in the state of being unaware. The time period will be used specifically (e.g. "one would properly be an expert in math, and fully unaware of historic previous.") or frequently (e.g. "an ignorant individual.") -- besides the undeniable fact that the second one use is used a lot less as a descriptive and larger as an imprecise personal insult. ignorant isn't a nasty note

No those people will not redefine the word ignorant if people enlighten them to the actual definition

I get more upset by how many people don't know what "cronie" means. Most people use it as an insult when all it means is friends or associates.

I must be really lucky, but I have never had the misfortune to come across any person using it that way.

Ignorant means "lacking in knowledge." People seem to use it sometimes to call someone disrespectful or rude. "Why are you being so ignorant?"
