I was thinking about how the verb ‘to ignore’ is not about ignorance. To ignore a thing, you must know about it; it’s a pretend ignorance. True ignorance (non-pejoratively) is simply not knowing of a thing at all.

Funny how language is.

(I just met an example of ignoring that was dressed up as ignorance, I suspect in order to save face.)
