Just discovered your blog after seeing the name several places. (I run an idiotic opera blog in another corner of the internet.) It seems swell. The mental picture of someone switching from "What I did for Love" to hotel lobby Schoenberg is riotous.Maury D'annatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136129943169313348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32354680.post-61678506295071398082007-04-10T10:38:00.000-04:002007-04-10T10:38:00.000-04:00Or how about "ignoramus" as in "venite ignoramus" ...Or how about "ignoramus" as in <BR/>"venite ignoramus" as it applied to Joshua Bell's buskingLane Savanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08678485361119088480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32354680.post-68353096061873239942007-04-09T21:51:00.000-04:002007-04-09T21:51:00.000-04:00That's ignivomous.

English doesn't actually have a common word for "the proprty of being ignored" because the idea is so horrifying that no one's talked about for a hundred years, apparently. (For a while, I would see "ignoral" here and there, but now that's become slang for an act of ignoring someone.)Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936327293692397100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32354680.post-78882416850778359362007-04-09T15:17:00.000-04:002007-04-09T15:17:00.000-04:00Ignoration!
