+fizzymagic Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 I'm sorry. I just can't stand it any longer. I almost never correct anyone's spelling, but this is too much. In the last week I have seen at least 5 new admonitions to cachers to "be discrete." It's spelled discreet, folks. The word discrete means distinct, or constituting a separate thing. Sorry again. I just lost it. And sorry about the thread title. I just learned that UBBCode doesn't work in them!
+Mr. Snazz Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 I've seen like, five people this week try to use UBB code in their post titles. I'm so sick of this!

Speaking of misspelling geocache, I wonder if there have been any geodecaches. You know, a cache inside a geode rock. There must be a few here and there. --Marky "All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer with a backlit GPSr"
+Mr. Snazz Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 have you kids seen my forty-five foot geode? I've got some of those amythyst crystals and the kids be buying them and bagging them around their neck or something, but ya know, the thing about kids today is that they can't respect the king crab.

I know everyone else has responded with mostly sarcastic comments, but I'm going to be genuine. I consider myself a pretty good speller, and I never even knew there were two discreets. Thanks... I never know what I'm gonna learn an these boards. Jamie
+Breaktrack Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 I've found that sometimes I know how to spell a word, and think I've spelled it correctly but typed it wrong.... so shoot me. I can't remember how many times I've read my own post in the forum after hitting submit only to have to go back and edit it because I typed it faster than I could keep up....LOL. Oh well, I don't care how you spell it, you guys are great. I just love this sport....!!!!! "Trade up, trade even, or don't trade!!!" My philosophy of life.
+parkrrrr Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 quote:Originally posted by fizzymagic:The word _discrete_ means distinct, or constituting a separate thing. Unless you're a Borg geocacher, you want to be discrete too. So what's the problem?
+Brown Dwarf Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 A geo-decache is what happens when you archive a cache, no?
+Darkmoon Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 So what is a geodudecache? Darkmoon No, I am not lost...I am where I am suppose to be...At least I think so?
+Brown Dwarf Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 That's what happens when a cachewidow stashes her husband.
+Brown Dwarf Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 about how many posts it takes to get off topic?

I try to get (all) right but typos are as common as mistakes and no one is purfect,as far as that goes there are several grammatical errors that I could find on just about every post. I think that time is better spent on looking at the possitive aspects rather than hey you didn't or this is or that was or or rororororororor,aint you got better things to do than to be ??????????? When all else fails Geotry again.
