Newsweek, May 5, 2008, page 39: “[T]he former president had proved himself . . . ignorant to  [ italics mine] the realities of the radio age.” Ignorant TO ?? Where has anyone heard or read this in English? In a major publication, yet. Astounding. Somebody might have been thinking “oblivous to” — but in any case, how many people at this magazine were oblivious to the stunning clunker that emerged?
