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.&quot

 

It's spelled discreet, folks.

 

The word discrete means distinct, or constituting a separate thing.

 

Sorry again. I just lost it. icon_rolleyes.gif

 

And sorry about the thread title. I just learned that UBBCode doesn't work in them! icon_mad.gif

I thought the proper spelling was eye tee.

If there's no accounting for stupidity, then why do I need to file a tax return?

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.

Wow!

 

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.

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....!!!!!

Unless you're a Borg geocacher, you want to be discrete too. So what's the problem? icon_biggrin.gif

A NewClear Expulsion of the Darwinian-pro-Jung theories of the magnetic filled circle as Enstien once said Thars only one way.....my way oh you guys common I culd mistipe thing and still get the blunt acroos. 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.
