A spelling Nazi asks...

Are the numerous members with the aforementioned description in their username referring to themselves as distinct and separate or just misspelling discreet?

"both are correct according to Word spell checker "

Both are indeed correct words but both have distinctly different meanings, hence my (slightly facetious) question

I think we pretty much know what they mean.

We were talking about people not knowing what words mean in relation to kids names this morning. I heard a woman call her son Regan and immediately thought of King Lears horrible daughter but I can't imagine that if she knew of that connection she would have named her son so. I also can't imagine that people deliberately call their children Half or Demi.

All that wittering was my way of saying that words, however they're spelled mean different things to different people.

I had someone try and tell me I'd mis-spelled 'discreet'...

....I think the confusion is because 'discretion' has a single 'e', hence the idea that the same context 'discrete' should have too - the vagaries of the English language!

It's also down to auto correct and people genuinely not know that they're two different words.

Lots of people spell how they hear hence "for fill" instead of fulfil and "could of" instead of "could have"
