I cringe when I see certain grammatical errors-'there their they're'-'your you're', etc. Also, the incorrect use or nonuse of apostrophes. "The two boy's walked to school." But one that I see often is the use of 'discrete' when it clearly should be 'discreet'. It would be discreet of writers to learn the discrete meanings of these two words. That is all.

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
