Discrete or discreet.
As a single man I'm not ashamed to admit that I subscribe to the occasional dating site, but why do so few ladies (and possibly men too, but I don't view their profiles) know the difference? Oh and if you're female and do know the difference I'd love to hear from you.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I remember it this way: in "discrete" the e's are separate, so distinct. In discreet, the e's are together and maybe they need to keep it hush-hush 
Discrete/discrete is a term that is commonly misused in the music world too. Discrete, describing surround mixes, means meaningful, unique information in the surround and rear speakers (and now in the height speakers for Atmos, DTS-X and Auro-3D). If there is no discrete information, the fronts were copied to the surrounds and rears, which most surround enthusiasts will avoid.

Spelling in general in profiles is really disappointing. And a bit of a turn-off, I might add.
Regarding this particular word - only those sneaking around would have a need to be discreet.
