Discreet and discrete are two very different words :)


I already admitted it was beyond my ability...


Math aside, it's an amusing misuse of vocabulary.


It's not a misuse of vocabulary, it's a misspelling. As my typing speed trends toward my thinking speed, the mechanical action becomes more tied to phonemes. I've found myself increasingly typing "are" for "our" which is fairly classic. "One" for "won" not so much.


One doesn't optimise prematurely, and one never discusses it 'out of class'.
