Reply to comment by Tartahyuga in [WP] All your life, mythological beings have tried to pick you up. Childhood? Forced adoption. Teenagehood/Adulthood? Marriage.

Just googled it. Discrete means separate, while discreet means unobtrusive. So not quite numbers vs. looks, but for moat of what people use it for, discreet is the correct word.
