You're probably not a native speaker of English, but of Latin. In Latin, `ignorare` can mean `not to know` in addition to its meaning of `not to pay attention to`, but in English, it only has the meaning of `not to pay attention to`.

Vale.

There are most probably no native speakers of Latin. Maybe you meant Spanish?

How about time travellers from the Imperium Romanum?

I'm sure he meant speakers of Latin-derived languages. I see native French speakers make this mistake often in English.

Thanks for this information.

fair enough, assuming you mean "latin derived language" thanks!

Actually I assumed you were a time traveller.
