Default Electronic mole repellers??

The message
from martin contains these words:

Discreet. Have a look at the dictionary.


discrete or discreet?


Agent International English accepts both.


I wouldn't rely on an internet program as an authority. The words have

Besides you have my OED :-)


ODCE makes the difference clear.


As do any good dictionaries.
