Re: "Deprecation" versus "Depreciation"

[Your Mother]

Given this musing + The Coding Itch, I have to insist, as Your Mother, that you only ride your motorcycle sober.

But seriously. Hackers can't spell: "referer" anyone? They don't feel tied to convention: "chron" (or "kron" at least) please! And "deprecated" means pretty much the right thing here: "this usage is frowned upon; after sufficient frowning, I'll be breaking it on you because you chose to do something stupid, aka, something I deprecate."

[Anonymous Monk]

Depreciation could be thought of as a property of deprecation. The value of my sinclair C5 depreciated due to its deprecation. It should be noted that the property may also be a negative value, this is stored as appreciation. where in the above example as a result of the historic significance of the C5 its deprecation has lead to an appreciation of both value and entusiasts.
