I really hate it
when people don't understand the difference between 'discreet' and 'discrete'. Actually I hate inaccurate, shoddy, slipshod, gimcrack, lazy use of language in general. Language is joyous, and one of our best tools for negotiating and redeeming reality - why not make a bit of an effort not to fuck it up?

My mother would tell you that language is joyous, but you should learn how to express yourself without using expletives! :)
