Tiny mini-rant

A swift rant about something driving me nuts on and off at the moment.

Kittens. People. Two different things.

You are not a kitten. Your friends and social group are not kittens. Bisexuals are not kittens. Only kittens, young instances of the animal commonly called a cat, are, in fact, kittens. Please remember this. Thank you.

Oh, you are just flouting your knowledge of the English language :-).

My pet peeve is "its" versus "it's". That, and when people do stuff like "I want this approved by Jim and myself," which makes the speaker sound both pompous and stupid, which is no mean feat.

Is flouting like flaunting?

No - it's playing a musical instrument.
