Single inverted commas

Although it is usual to enclose a word under discussion in single inverted commas, I have chosen instead to emphasise it in red to prevent confusion with apostrophes.
These posts are always short and clear so that they can be read easily on a mobile if you follow by email (the red may not show, however!) This is completely free.

FLOUT AND FLAUNT

These two words are often confused, possibly because both have a sense of impudence about them.
Flout is used when rules or the law are broken in an obvious fashion: She flouted the dress code of her office by wearing jeans.
Flaunt means to show off as in: "If you've got it, flaunt it."
