From your post, I would say YOU might qualify as an example. If my point
eluded you, there is strong evidence afoot that you might be included in
the domain of "incredibly ignorant". Whatsamatter, did YOU think some
two-dollar bill was phoney simply because it was a two-dollar bill?

It is called "Usenet". People say things; other people say things in
response...all to other people they have never met. Try it; it works
GREAT!

No, but I look rather darkly upon adults who are blithely ignorant of
facts about which a typical child would be knowledgable.

Does it matter? I will say that among them is a working overview of
denominations of United States currency. You know, elementary school
stuff. You DID make it through that, did you not?

No, have you?
