Subject: [Tails-dev] [PATCH] Fix incorrect usage of "discrete"
This doesn't retroactively fix news posts. Via Wiktionary:

discrete (comparative more discrete, superlative most discrete)

1. Separate; distinct; individual; non-continuous.

       a government with three discrete divisions


2. That can be perceived individually, not as connected to, or part of, something else.

discreet (comparative more discreet or discreeter, superlative most discreet or discreetest)

  1. Respectful of privacy or secrecy; exercising caution in order to
     avoid causing embarrassment; quiet; diplomatic.


       With a discreet gesture, she reminded him to mind his manners.


       John just doesn't understand that laughing at Mary all day is not
       very discreet.


2. Not drawing attention, anger or challenge; inconspicuous.

Although cognate and identical in the Middle English period, the term
has become distinct from discrete.
