The thing that really irked me was that I got this text from a guy, who was trying to explain to me why he wasn't replying to my texts. The text didn't bother me, well it did, it's just the way he used the word ignorant. Thinking that it was in the right context. Mind you this was in August or something, so I don't have the text anymore. But he was trying to make himself all smart and justified for not texting, by saying, "Sorry that I've been so ignorant, theres just been so much going on in my life..." Pretty much paraphrasing what I remember from that text. I'm quite sure that he was trying to use the verb, 'ignore', and tried to spice it up and make himself seem "smart". But it totally backfired on him.

When I first saw the text, for one thing, I was extremely tired, and hung over, but when I read it, I was pretty sure the word ignorant was used wrong. When I got home, I checked the definition and reread the text, I knew for sure that it was wrong.

The irony in this is that, you are being quite ignorant. Trying to use the word ignorant, but the context it was in, was totally wrong.
