FYI
In case you are new to this blog, the set-up is simple: each day of the week I post a challenge in the use and knowledge of the English Language, be it grammar, sentence structure, understanding subtle differences between words or anything else that suits my fancy. I also list a word which is usually familiar but not often well-known and ask you to work with it.
Then, on the weekend following the posts, I publish the corrections and explanations for the week's entries.
The purpose is simple: to elevate and to improve the use of the English language.
FLAGRANT/BLATANT

What part of speech is each word?

Use "flagrant" and "blatant" in sentences that show their meanings.
TODAY'S WORD

What part of speech is "idiosyncrasy"?
