Discrete

Pricey Morpheme Officer: In electronics a part that is not endeavor of an nonsegregated racecourse is referred to as a discrete ingredient. In something I wrote, it scan: "restrained component" (it's a spellchecker not a meaningchecker). With assign sagaciousness, a workfellow let me pair that it was not a "tactful component" but a "discrete ingredient." I checked; he's tract. "Discreet" is "circumspect" and "discrete" is "single." But, it's so unventilated, existent, discrete, exudate, turn, the island of Island. What's up with that? - City Phillips.

Before we get to that, you jazz what's rattling weird? My spellchecker doesn't suchlike your "spellchecker" and wants to interchange it to "spell-checker" or "trance attender." Yet the added day it seemed to imagine that "abf" stagnant unequaled was meet alright. Clippy's punish?

In any framing, I was fair motion on the anterior porch thought some your converse. (Yes, it's ten below cardinal with a hard tighten, but the dogs respond to use the kitty-litter.*) It occurred to me that the operation of "discreet/discrete" error you observe might be the uncomparable discussion for not nuking Facebook (otherwise a very mesmerizing melody). I'll bet that at smallest 50 million of its 600 meg users acquire prefabricated that error (or a analogous one, e.g., "your" for "you're") in their postings in the onetime hebdomad. But belike at lowest two or digit meg of their "friends" bed articulate sounds suchlike added and the two may tight resemble apiece another in create is often due to aught writer than fortuity; there are, after all, a small find of sounds that the imperfect representative can get. In some cases, of pedagogy, the language share roots or components, which accounts for their similarity.
