The Creation Museum is located just south of Cincinnati and I remember some talk about it being built before we left the area. A few years ago, people in Ligonier, Indiana tried to turn an old factory into another Creation Museum and because I was writing for a small paper at the time, I was asked to research it and write an article. In doing that, I checked back with the website for the museum in Cincinnati.
Now, there have been headlines about a debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham. In renewed curiosity about the Creation Museum, I went back to their website and while reading through one description, came upon this sentence:
Several parts of the museum, including the stunning forty-foot high portico with its cliff wall and floor-to-ceiling glass windows, flaunt open spaces and remarkable designs.
Flaunt?
Flaunt seems off-key to me, so I typed it in Google search and this is the first thing that came up:
Wouldn’t “highlight” or “spotlight” be a better choice than flaunt?
I know it’s a small thing, a really small thing, but what is it they say? Oh, The devil is in the details.
I agree, flaunt is a strange choice. Probably has something to do with an online thesaurus.
