I is for Ignoramus

Does anybody use this word anymore? It's such a great word! It's the first person plural present indicative in Latin (which is why I've never studied Latin) for ignore, and it means "a deliberately or callously ignorant person". If I don't know which fork to use because I don't know there IS such a thing, I'm ignorant. If I should know but don't bother to learn, I'm an ignoramus.

Wonder if the search engine I just used (not Google) is ignorant, an ignoramus, or what, when it just returned me this sponsored result:

"Get great deals on Ignoramus. Shop eBay today!"

Meanwhile, it's Tuesday, so I'm posting at Fatal Foodies today about ipecac.

A WRITING PROMPT FOR YOU: An ignoramus tries to pass himself (or herself) off as an expert.
