Minor writing rant...
Okay people, let's get this one straightened out:
palate - physiologically, the hard and soft parts of the roof of your mouth; metaphorically, your skill or experience in discerning flavour and such (e.g. The connoiseur must have a discerning palate)
palette - that thing that holds a painter's paints; metaphorically, a colour combination
pallet - the (usually) wooden platform of slats on which you pack a large load of cargo that can be lifted with a forklift; can also refer to a thin mattress, denotes austerity (e.g. the monk's pallet)
Thank you. We now return you to your regularly scheduled blog and fic reading.
