Thanks! I wasn't sure about it, but it's by far the most popular post I've written. You never can tell.

That was indeed an inexcusable error of English usage. It’s now been corrected, and you may safely continue. (According to a quick google search, “flaunt” and “flout” are so often confused that the Merriam-Webster dictionary now provides multiple definitions. But any self-respecting intellectual should remain above such sloppiness.)
