I try not to give my friends a break in the blog; but it’s not always easy.

Now here’s the real question: is this flute player a “flutist” or a “flautist”, or, as I was refered to upon attempting to play the flute, a “flatulist”?

I did a little research on this (seriously). Flutist (from the French, flute) seems to be prefered according to wiki. Flautist first appears in the 18th century and is used in a jocular manner to describe the flute player.

Quite embarrassing to have the exact same pinkie style as the flutist,
but you were kind not to illustrate that for your fans…
