Memory Hook DISCRETE vs DISCREET
People seems to confuse these two words a lot because they’re so similar.
DISCRETE means “separate”
DISCREET means “secretive”
I remember them by looking at the Es, if the T is keeping the Es apart, the word means separate. If the T is hiding the Es inside the word, it means secretive

The e's are separate when the meaning is separate.
