Asked on December 24, 2021 in Meaning.
Do doctors have bad sarcasm? If the expectation is that the book and movie were supposed to be different, then their description as “none too dissimilar” is making the point that they were indeed similar.
If no mention of what they were made of, would not be considered a similarity?

Asked on March 1, 2021 in Meaning.
I think there’s a subtle difference in the way the term is used that differentiates between the 2 meanings. If you describe a person as “ignorant” without any other context you usually mean that they’re bigoted / obstinate as described above.
What are some good examples? What do you think about Dave McDonald in New York? ” ” I think he seemed a little
ignorant” However, if you use it to refer to a particular context then it can be used (carefully) to describe the simple fact of not
knowing e.g. from his own experiences. Why did Dave get his customer? He was ignorant of their networking requirements”
