What I've seen a lot of, primarily on this forum, is "quite".

"The SB3 is too quite."

The SB3 is too quite what?  Quite cool?  Quite bad?

Oh - you must mean QUIET.

But I'm seeing it -so- often that I'm beginning to use it, which is
very disconcerting.  It's appearing in so many places I believe we'll
start to see it being used officially instead of "quiet".

So how are we going to spell something that's "quite" wrong?  Are we
going to use the same word?  Gee, that's not less confusing, it's MORE
confusing.  Maybe we should use the word "quiet" when "quite" is called
for - have them swap places.  :-)
