Thanks, gfb107 and vickyg2003 for the clarification. I think dyslexia has gotten the better of me. Though, I'm a little sad that the InputNext on the Z-5450 isn't discrete, maybe I can still get away with calling it discréet.

Zomg. Annoying! I had to use [Alt]+130 in order to get the acute diacritical mark over the e so it did not auto-"correct" it.

It's true, the forum will "correct" some spellings, especially words that are commonly misspelled, with discrete being one of them. My assumption being that it's very unlikely that someone would say discrete when they really meant to say discreet, in this forum at least. Likewise for compliment vs. complement.

ps. If you're wondering how I was able to use the alternate spellings above, quote this message to see what I did.
