So annoying. The proper spelling is "discreet", if the author means "not blatantly obvious." It is the word used when people want to indicate that some behaviors might give offense or bring moral opprobrium, and therefore they are kept quiet.
The other spelling, "discrete", means "unattached" or "not a part of," as in "the assemblage was made up of a dozen or more discrete elements."
It’s a British paper. They need to learn English.................
It’s discrete because it’s not connected to the neighboring silicone brothel where the dolls are named Brandy, Tiffany, Caramel and Bobbie.
