Did the writer want to write ‘flair’ instead of flare?
Flair(n):
- a natural talent, aptitude, or ability; bent; knack:
a flair for rhyming. - smartness of style, manner, etc.:
Their window display has absolutely no flair at all.
Synonyms: chic, dash, panache, verve; oomph, pizazz. - keen, intuitive perception or discernment:
We want a casting director with a real flair for finding dramatic talent.
I think I answered it myself, because flare is a blaze of burst, so that doesn’t make any sense…
