There’s been an outbreak of flaunting. Look at these examples:
- People who flaunt the new rules for gatherings of six … face fines of up to £3,200. (Telegraph.co.uk)
- It only takes a few to flaunt the rules … (WalesOnline)
- Thousands of Wuhan drinkers flaunt social distancing rules … (Daily Mail)
Spot the mistake? All of that flaunting should be flouting.
Flout means to openly disregard a rule or convention.
Flaunt means to display something ostentatiously.
See Oxford Dictionaries for more on this common mistake.
