Word of the Week...
This is the second word of the week so far, and it is a doozy. I searched long and hard for something both useful and uncommon, and I think I found something good.

The word of the week is nescience.

Nescience means ignorance. Sure, you could just say ignorance, but most people are ignorant of the meaning of nescient, so its usage also makes a point!

Here are some examples of the usage of our word of the week:

"The notion has taken hold that every barometric fluctuation must demonstrate climate change. This anecdotal case for global warming is mostly nonsense, driven by nescience of a basic point, from statistics and probability, that the weather is always weird somewhere."

--Gregg Easterbrook "Warming Up," The New Republic, November 8, 1999

"Then since knowledge pertains to that which is and ignorance of necessity to that which is not, for that which lies between we must seek for something between nescience and science, if such a thing there be."

--Plato
