Also, i recently realised that people seem to be using the words
deprecated and depreciated interchangeably. Looking up the exact
meanings
in a dictionary, I would have to offer my opinion that the latter is a
better fit, although the former is used more commonly.
Regardless of which is semantically more correct, deprecated is the
standard term, AFAIK.
A funny story: when I was first starting to work at NeXT, which was my
first job at a big company ever (big being a relative term :->), I heard
my co-workers talking about API being deprecated. I
misheard/misremembered, and for some months after that I was happily
talking about "denigrating" APIs, until a co-worker took me aside and
set me straight. :->
Now, there may be a few APIs worthy of denigration, too...
