What is "discrete", "descrete", "descent", "DISCREET"?

There are many misused words here and the one that I notice the most is "discreet". I'm not here to judge why a person uses that word but spelling it incorrectly says a lot. Now all of us misspell a word sometimes (and it drives me crazy when I catch an error after posting) but the meaning\intent is just as important.

I don't use the word "discreet" in my profile (the proper spelling) but I do consider myself being discreet here. It doesn't mean I'm cheating, doing something I'm not supposed to do, etc. but it means that I don't want others knowing about my private life because I'm a private person. I looked up the definition of "discreet" and found the following:

judicious in one's conduct or speech, especially with regard to respecting privacy or maintaining silence about something of a delicate nature; prudent; circumspect.

That doesn't mean<b> cheating </font></b>but I'm sure those who cheat here (and elsewhere) would use that word and it would be accurate for them. I personally would not deal with a married or attached woman (unless I receive expressed permission from the partner, which hasn't happened yet , but to each their own as they are responsible for their actions. But for those who are "discreet" and not in a relationship it would be unfair to judge them just because they use that word.

 I had trouble remembering which spelling meant circumspect and which separate items till I realized that in discrete, separate items, the ees are separate and when discreet has the ees close like you want the information held.
You do make a very good point that discreet does always mean sneaking but can just mean you are a private sort of person and also respect that in others.
If you see me in the real world, come say "Hi Justskin."

I always behave. Preferably not well.
