Their error was to write ‘with’ instead of ‘in’ the strictest confidence.

Ok, if you are in the strictest way confident that that is what they mean. We will treat the matter with the utmost confidentiality then. 😉

Confidence in this form means _information held in secret_.  
Its adjective form is confidential.

Confidentiality is the _property of being confidential_.

I’m glad they’re going to treat my opinions with confidence. Even though I’m going to write a tl;dr about alll of my opinions and post them here in GD.
