Ignorantics is speech, written and oral, derived from ignorance and the act of expression is the "antics". This blog is dedicated to the Ignorantics who are casual and chronic offenders. In this blog, I will share stories and commentary about individuals who find themselves in either of these categories. I would also like to inform my readers that all of the stories that I share on this Blog are “REAL” stories but the names of the Ignorantics have been changed to protect the ignorant! © 2010-19.

Meet the Kahns!
According to one of my readers' cousin, this is Fara Kahn and Chaka Kahn and somehow they are related. What do you think? See the resemblance?
"I Might Coulda Got..."
Okay...so a few days ago, I was in the line waiting to purchase my items at the grocery store...a few feet from the Customer Service booth. Suddenly, and without provocation I was verbally assaulted by an Senior Citizen Ignorantic. That's right a SCI.
SCIs are the worst ignorantics because they are seasoned. Almost like collard greens that have been cooking on the stove for hours in their juices...seasoned all the way down to the ham hocks. Well, anyway, this assault on my ears and the English language was a phrase that I have been hearing for years. I don't know its origin, I don't know why older folks still say it, but it gives me the worst headache ever.
"I might coulda got". You've heard it, right? It has been around longer than "pacific". It is one of the staples of Ignorantics and it must be stopped. How can you "coulda got"? and then adding "might" to it as if you may change your mind? I won't bother going into how she used it in a sentence because that would just be too cruel. Let's just say for now...when we hear it, let the person know that it is ignorant and that they should never say it again. No one "might coulda got" anything...I am so serious...

Imma Bus You In Your Head!!!
Folks, this is an oldie but goody. How long have we heard folks say they were going to "bus someone in their head"? Old ignorantics die hard!

Lord, I Need to Be Reframed!
Lord please give me strength...I am trying to refrain from putting Dr. Wade PhD on SUPER blast!
I know many of you wish you could be reframed! Maybe instead of a 11x7 frame, you can get a 4x6 frame! Something smaller than your current frame! Reduce! Reduce! Crop! Minimize! Reframe! Reframe! LOL!

Ignorantics: Irregular Plural Nouns Basic Skills Puzzle
Now, we all know that there are nouns that are both singular and plural. Examples: deer, moose, sheep, swine, etc. Then, there is the word "fish". Look at the puzzle piece to the left. It is part of a puzzle that shows the singular on the left and the plural on the right. This skills puzzle is called "Irregular Plural Nouns", and one of my readers, a speech pathologist, was about to use this puzzle with one of her clients until she pulled out the puzzle piece pictured to your left and exclaimed "Aw Hayle Naw!" [pause] Ok, slight embellishment, more like "Let me contact Ignorantics to put this puzzle manufacturer on blast! This is not correct."
Lesson: [this is for my expert grammarians out there] Yes, you can say "fishes" but only if you are referring to several individual species of fish. For example, if you visit an aquarium and you see a tank filled with Bonnethead Shark, Green Moray Eel, and Porcupinefish don't be surprised to see a sign that says: "Fishes of the Atlantic Coral Reef". "Fishes" used in that form is CORRECT, but the way that it is used in this puzzle pictured to the left, is incorrect. Now, to all my Ignorantics out there...go get you some fishes for dinner tonight!!!
