We have the same issues. The way I deal with this is to:

(a) Always keep the PDF versions of the Reference, Tuning Guide, SQL Reference and Concepts manual open at all times (b) Browse the 'interesting' messages from this list at least for about 15 min everyday
(c) Test your version of the answer, or the other more intelligent one if possible (and answer/correct when possible as others will learn from that too)
(d) If this is new to you, read up Concepts and Reference if possible.
