It should be noted that "discrete" [url]viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1889&p=13342&hilit= ... 13342/[url] has already been addressed, with the comment that it has "discreet" as a homophone. But it wasn't noted that "discretion", although the spelling seems to indicate a relation to "discrete", is really a quality associated with this word. Is that an indiscretion

Taken up and treated here.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
