To get Ernie on you for a second:
Discrete = individually separate and distinct.
Discreet = intentionally unobtrusive.
OK sorry about that.
Well, I didn't think he made a mistake. I wondered WTF he meant by a discrete camera but I went with it. After all, every single camera* is discrete! Then when he described something "discreet" I didn't realize it.
So don't apologize. Thanks for being there. I [obviously] think there's nothing wrong in helping people express themselves correctly.
For instance,
A discrete bellboy says "I'm working here by myself."
A discreet bellboy would never say to a woman "isn't that your husband over there with that blond?"
*that's actually a joke
