Therefore, for miss-naming his 29' Chaparal 290 Signature cruiser the Naut Guilty as opposed to the Knot Guilty....I hereby find him guilty and sentence him to writing KNOT GUILTY on the blackboard 2900 times with his left hand....so he'll start to find out what it's like to be without a usable right arm..... so be it!
The reference is to "nautical," which is entirely appropriate.

And you calling someone out on their use of the English language is ironic.
