In electronics, a component that is not part of an integrated circuit is known as a separate component. In what I wrote, read. “discrete” a spell checker is not Meaningchecker. With appropriate discretion a colleague told me that he was not a “discrete component” but “discrete component”. I checked; He is right. “Discreet” is “understanding” and “discreet” is “singular”. But it is so close, concrete, discrete, discriminate, desecrate, Crete. What is this? -Gary Phillips.
Before us, we know what is really strange? Say your spell checking not as “spelling” and wants to change it to “use” or “Spell”. But seemed to think that “Request” was alone is well recently. Clippy revenge?
Anyway, I sat on the porch thinking your question. (Yes, it’s ten below zero with a nasty wind, but the dogs refuse to kitty-litter * use) Invaded me that kind of confusion “discreet/discrete”, note that you may be the best argument for not nuking Facebook (otherwise a very attractive idea). I bet that at least 50 million of its 600 million users have made this error (or similar, such as “your” for “you are”) in their records in the last week. But probably at least two or three million of them “friends” are shown to them! Hey, it’s better than nothing.
“Discrete” The fact that a word sounds like another, and the two may resemble each other in shape is often cause no more than a coincidence. Finally, there are a limited number of sounds, which can make the human mouth. In some cases, of course the words share roots or components, representing for their similarity.
