ventaSo. Deprecation. Do you know what it is ?
I don't mean self-deprecation, or coughing deprecatingly, or similar. I also didn't try to write "depreciation" and miss. I mean the word as used in the following sentence:
I'm afraid that method of doing it has been deprecated.
[Poll #1472070]
I'm just curious. When I started work in '99, I assumed the company I worked for had just made that usage of "deprecated" up. I was most surprised to find out it was a proper word.
Edit: For people who said they guessed, you can check whether you were correct :)
