they have now discretely changed their name to the “Fenny” school of English.

Discretely from what? Or do you mean discreetly?

The second one “discreetly”.

Thanks for the spelling correction, I may of been spelling those two incorrectly for many years. Well, I am a native speaker! Oh no lets not get onto that one, as a couple of the famous female forumosa posters get mad about native speakers using incorrect spelling.

BTW, while we are on the subject, is there any chance of installing a spell check on the forum ? Although in the above case it would not of made any difference.

I do hope you’re not an English teacher, or anything like that.

Of course you’re right - it is a schoolboy error. Thanks for keeping me on my toes.

FWIW, that reminds me of a new use of the word “discrete,” which I’ve recently discovered: discrete semiconductors.

A semiconductor device is one made of silicon or any number of other specially prepared materials designed to exploit the unique properties of electrons in a crystal lattice, where electrons are not as free to move as in a conductor, but are far more mobile than in an insulator. A discrete device is one contained in its own package, not built on a common semiconductor substrate with other components, as is the case with ICs, or integrated circuits. Thus, “discrete semiconductor circuits” are circuits built out of individual semiconductor components, connected together on some kind of circuit board or terminal strip.

This thread seems biased. Can we please have some schoolgirl errors?

I think it’s great that there are people out there who care about these errors on a forum. I’m just glad it’s not me.
