Discreet or discrete?
Discreet means careful not to attract attention or reveal a secret: a discreet enquiry. Discrete means separate and distinct: three discrete stages. They sound identical, so only the spelling separates them. Discrete keeps its two e-s apart, which is a fair reminder that it means separate.
