how ignorant are you?

I love learning new languages, but they don't stick with me. What was at least written fluency with partial spoken fluency in croatian is mostly gone, other than a few words and phrases. I've learned 5 languages, and now barely speak English. Dammit.

Up until about 3 years ago, I knew what the word epitome meant but had NO IDEA that ee-PIT-ah-mee was how you said it. I actually said "EP-i-tum". And I went to county level in the 6th grade spelling bee. *sigh*

I'm an amateur radio operator, and still have problems the electricity and math. Electricity scares me. I understand voltage and amperage, but jumping the car freaks me out, in case those clips touch.

I used to test drive Ford vehicles, but I can't tell you how half that crap works or what it's called.

I can build a computer from the board up, but I don't know what a "front side bus" is or what a cache is or why SDRAM is different from DDR RAM or what HT does for you. I don't know how zeroes and ones become World of Warcraft on my screen.

Stock Market stuff (like the stuff lookout said in his post)? Forget it. Gibberish.

math higher than Algebra? Nope.

Chemistry? Failed it 3 times, right after the part where you learn about Moles. What does a blind rodent have anything to do with Chemistry and weights? And why is Avocado's number important?

I dont understand how air going under the wing pushes it (the wing) down, thus causing lift? Huh? I know it has something to do with air pressue, but..uh..after that you lost me...
