Aaarggh!  DEPRECATED.    DEPRECATED.    DEPRECATED.   (preached against)

Now go to your copy of the OED and look up depreciate; then deprecate.

Sorry -- you just pushed all the red buttons for someone who's been
lecturing in English Language and Linguistics for over 40 years now.
Barbarisms such as 'definately' and 'relevent' produce the same effect.

(My excuse:  I was taught in the 1940s by Victorian ladies who would
beat you to a pulp at the age of eight for making that kind of mistake.)
