It is not ignorant to ask such questions. It is ignorant to not know and make mistakes because you didn't bother to ask. Well, it's intentionally ignorant to do that anyhow. As I'm sure you've heard before, the only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked. Better to ask, and know, then make assumptions and end up wrong.
Feel free to ask any questions here you are uncertain about, at any time, always.
