It's discreet. Not discrete. They are two very different words.
My eyes are going to get stuck in the back of my head from rolling them so much!
Should it annoy me? Nope but it really really does.  |

It baffles me how in the age of smartphones with auto correct and dictionaries built-in, people still can't seem to manage to spell correctly, nevermind construct a legible sentence!
Also a major pet peeve of mine is the misuse then/than.
But it's too nice a day out to let minor annoyances ruin the seldom seen Irish sun! |

They are spelling it correctly though. They're just using the wrong word completely. I can cope with misspelled words, that actually doesn't bother me but misused homophones really annoys me. Haha |

"Why would a word annoy you? Most people only know how to spell with text language ha
Why not, we all have our gripes. Better out then in. Text talk is an abomination also  "
True it is bad. I know myself I am not the greatest when it comes to words and spelling but sure I will figure it out ha |

Spelling, we’re not too bad on that (only 26 letters).... but counting is a whole different ballgame. Numbers, there’s just so damned many!!  |

That's not an issue, what they do with their own perspective information is up to them, it's when they compromise the boundaries of others that there is a problem |

Maybe in their primary language the translation of discreet is close to discrete let's say discreto or discrète or discret.
Or maybe they want to say they are detached.
