I may not be a master of the English language (since I have already been made fun of by Dan C. for using the word ignorancy--but didn't Shakespear make up words that are now used in common day speech?), but you don't know who I am or where I'm from. What I have noticed on many postings is the word "ignoramuses" as an insult. The "es" is a Greek plural ending. "Ignoramus" is Latin. Therefore, the correct plural usage of the word would be "ignorami." I only say this because I am fluent in Latin, and it is annoying to see the word butchered.
