Oh, I hate this one. Whenever I see "we guarantee to be discrete" or something of the kind, I want to add "what? one little step at a time??"

I've run across discreet numbers--in a professionally translated economics text. Truly cringe-worthy. Originally Posted by lph

Let's not forget "Alot" (not even a word!) instead of "A lot". Thankfully, I've never seen anyone try to use "Allot" in place of "A lot", but I suspect it's only a matter of time.

Do you use just "mail" as a verb? Originally Posted by Catrin
