I have a livejournal. It has entries in there from 2004 onwards. I stopped using it around 2006 and then it has the odd random entry in there for 2007 and 2008. I think at one point I had a post about xmas 2006 on the same page as a post about xmas 2007... just goes to show how much I used it!! Back in the day I'd update it almost twice daily... I just don't have the time or requirement to anymore I guess. Plus I used to enjoy reading others' blogs as they had abilities to write with a flare where as mine sounded like the boring droning on story of "today i did this and then this and then this" etc. etc.

I hope you won't find me pompous my friend, but I think you mean FLAIR (in French "avoir du Flair means having a nose" for something, ferreting, sensing things to come)
Flare is something else, like a blaze or flared trousers? Very '70s!

You know what they say: mens sana in corpore sano...

but also if the words are rightly used they convey a fuller and better idea.

This is true, however, errors are a natural occurence, it's not like I thought "i know, i'll type flare instead of flair" That's not to say I don't know the difference between flair and flare. It's the same as when speaking people often say the wrong word because it sounds similar or with the slips of the tongue such as "par cark" instead of "car park" lol... it wasn't intentional mile:
