Indescretion?

So I'm wasting time here, watching a little John Stewart in the afternoon while I eat lunch. In one of the promos I saw emblazoned across the TV screen, was the word "INDESCRETION."

It hit me as wrong, and of course it is. It's indiscretion.

Check the spell check, boys!

Hey, if this is the sign of being a nerd, then I'll proudly hold the banner high.

You see these sorts of "indiscreet secretions" all the time on TV these days, and in advertising and all kinds of print media. It seems to me that with the new reliance on technology, and spell check, spelling gets worste and worste. It's one of my pett peaves.
