Calling Someone Ignorant Isn’t Necessarily an Insult Ignorance is simply a lack of understanding

Calling someone ignorant isn’t necessarily an insult. Ignorance is simply a lack of understanding. If we are ignorant of a subject, we have little, if any, knowledge about it.

We are ignorant about all sorts of things, but that does not make us stupid; we are just ignorant.

Maybe calling someone ignorant is an insult but saying they are ignorant of the facts is not.

This difference is an important distinction.
