He is discrete. Just not discreet.

I'm very pedantic about spelling and homophones, I love puns, and I took an upper-division Discrete Math class in college, and yet I still never realized that "discrete" and "discreet" are two different words.

I associate discrete with physics and discreet with literature.

No, I get it now, especially as I teach quantum mechanics; I just never noticed that it wasn't the same spelling until your comment (or, more likely, I subconsciously chalked it up to a difference between American and British spelling)
