So what.

Just because you don't know something, it doesn't mean you are dumb. That just means it wasn't taught to you. You may know something that I don't, but I know a lot of things that you won't know either. Different strokes for different folks.

The word you grasped for through that entire ramble was the word "ignorant."

When your teacher asked you what did you want to be when you ggrew up, what did you tell her? I hope you said a Bitch. That way if you was ever to run into her again, you wouldn't disappoint.

Yeah, you're dumb.

So go out and learn.

Don't take it badly, Smooth.
She is correct. She is using definition #2 of ignorant and you are taking it as definition #3.

ig·no·rant
#1 lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated.
"he was told constantly that he was ignorant and stupid"

#2 lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about something in particular.
"they were ignorant of astronomy"

#3 informal
discourteous or rude.
"this ignorant, pin-brained receptionist"

Ignorant doesn't not mean stupid, although one can be both, you are not.

 

[smoothg103rd]

Yeah, you're dumb.

In some eyes I'm a genius.

Or it could mean you never learned it.

So that means in some ways we all are ignorant.

Stevie Wonders'?

 

[smoothg103rd]

Yeah that too.

 

[smoothg103rd]

Stevie Wonders'?

Nah Ray Charles

Yep, basically. I google search a lot of things I don't understand.
Until recently I was totally ignorant of song writing despite being around professional musicians most of my life. A couple weeks ago I was at a song writing workshop where we wrote a song so now I have some understanding of song writing and can look at songs in a new way.
Before Byron I didn't understand how music changed from the 13th to the 16th century, but now I do enough to recognize it the different periods sound.

I never really understood music, or instruments. Never figure out how to play any of them. Instruments always been confusing to me.

Do you play a instrument?

 

[Noor]

No, not really, except voice.
I had piano lessons when I was a kid, also learn recorder and auto harp, but I never really like them. I did learn to read music and I sang in choirs.
Making music on string instruments like violins and guitars confuses me.
I love percussion.

You should make a list of things you might like to learn some day, and then knock them off over time. That is what I do. Never stop learning, it keeps you young and your mind fresh.

I will make it if you read it.

Sure, do it!

I gotta put some thought into it..... but I always wanted to learn Calculus just because I heard its the hardest math.

You should PM Mike Yates...

...you two'd make great brainstormers.

One of the definitions of being wise is being able to admit that you don't and can't know everything.

Another definition is 'not knowing, but knowing where to find out'. Thank you Wikipedia. But you have to know something to use search engines effectively.

One of the things you know that I don't is the point of this thread. Obviously someone stepped on your toes with respect to your intellect or lack of it, but we won't know who or how unless you tell us.
