Does it matter that it's spelled flare and not flair?

Knowing this place like I do, I'm probably missing something.

FLAIR...as in STYLISH...with PANACHE. Madhatr is correct in his word choice.

Damn grammar/vocabulary nazis.

Not a Nazi at all. That's why I suggested it may be spelled correctly and that I may be missing the joke.

(As an aside, spelling does matter.)

No, I knew that. I was rethinking my response because I knew it would come off as defensive.

Well I don't know if Mad Hatter's vocabulary Choice was intentional or not. LOL

I think we can all agree that all flares are flair, but not all flair are flares.

So now we just need a box with flair that contains flares of the box variety.

Hrmmm... I never could spell. I guess that's why I draw pictures, and not write novels. The only problem with that is... I look like a blathering idiot online

Good news is I fixed it so it works now:

flair! photo 20160911_192943.jpg

Not at all, man. Wear all this ribbing like a badge of honor.

Sure did! And yes, I thought it was reminiscent of Trosley, too!

In reply to RealMiniParker:

The ribbing doesn't bother me at all. I am absolutely amused by the direction this forum can go from something as simple as that... I had a good laugh from all of it

Spelling and grammar have always been my achilles heel, to the point most spell check software goes "I don't have a berkeleying clue what you want". My mind tends to work in pictures, and rules about how the physical worlds around us. The language rules always seemed arbitrary to me... and no one could explain the 'why' of it all.

I once tried to convince my english teacher that:

"Correct spelling is just a road block to the natural evolution of our language"

That went over about as well as expected, but that was before leet speak, and Txt. Who knew 13 yr. old me would be right?

Anyway. Thanks everyone for the compliments... I have (moar!) ideas in my head, just need to find the time to put them on paper.

Not only does it work, I think it works even better than originally intended.
