Technically, Elliot came back inside from a balcony, so I'm not sure that's "emerging". On the other hand, when I did a search on the definition, the first example was emerging from a fog. Could one emerge from the outdoor night? Doesn't sound right to me, but if one wanted to dig in their heels and be extra confusing with their narration, I suppose that would be an option.

- Waiter (a mere two comics ago, but what the heck, here's the reference)

I probably couldn't use it in a sentence, but this comic taught me that "discrete" means separate and distinct, and not phrasing things carefully for various potential reasons, which would be "discreet".

As much as I think autocorrection and the like can make us worse at manually spelling, the suggestion of a different spelling was how I avoided an error I would have needed to fix later.

Assuming one has the time, I guess the compromise to keep one's self sharp would be to look up and understand the word differences, thereby learning something instead of just taking for granted what the robots say is right.
