I was just rereading my New English Library paperback edition and noticed that, at the beginning of chapter 31, the UA of W Cat refers to "the most publicised flaunting of these rules..."

I assumed that the Cat meant "flouting," of course, since to flaunt means "to exhibit ostentatiously" and to flout is "to show contempt for"-- but actually I just poked around a bit and found that the American Heritage Dictionary officially acknowledges that "for some time now flaunt has been used in the sense 'to show contempt for,' even by educated users of English." It does note, however, that "this usage is still widely seen as erroneous and is best avoided," so maybe this is a candidate for a future upgrade after all.

Or, maybe it was just a mispeling vyrus.

This is probably just like how some Americans now use "real" when they mean "really." Not all Americans, btw, before I get scolded.

...Or some English types (boyfriend included) say "brought" when they mean "bought"! Drives me up the wall every time.....

On m-w.com, it explains how there have been quite a few instances in literature where the two have been confused. I certainly can't remember which is which...I only happen to know this because I play the flute, and just delight in any words that sound similar. If you'll type "flaunt" into m-w.com, it'll explain it all.

Wow!!! I just discovered that "Turkish Delight" is:

a jellylike or gummy confection usually cut in cubes and dusted with sugar -- called also Turkish paste

I've wondered that ever since I read "The Chronicals of Narnia" in the second grade. I was being an idiot, and had to look up "delight" to make sure it wasn't "delite"...and I came across that. Thanks!!
