Not that any of this is life-shattering information, but let's go back to what caused this pissing contest:Vrede too wrote:Saw that, my post was based on deprecate #3 and depreciate #4 being a pejorative.
Okay, but didn't you use depreciated as the past tense of deprecate here?Maybe I'm confused.rstrong wrote:"Deprecate" is the proper word, used industry wide. Whenever Adobe or Oracle or Microsoft removes a function from their API (Application Programmer Interface), they declare it depreciated....
Then why was the word "Deprecated" used instead of "Depreciated" in the video box?
No, you're not. rstrong is not only confused, he's highly befuddled. I've never heard the word "deprecated" until now; that's why I looked it up. What industry, I wonder, uses it so frequently?
"The YouTube Flash API was officially deprecated on January 27th., 2015" (exact copy and paste)
Definitions of deprecated:
1. to express earnest disapproval of.
2. to urge reasons against; protest against (a scheme, purpose, etc.).
3. to depreciate; belittle.
4. Archaic. to pray for deliverance from.
1 .... YouTube Flash has been earnestly disapproved of and that is why Adobe Flash is being phased out?
2 .... The public or a specific entity has protested against it's use, and has schemed to force it's removal?
3 .... It's value has "depreciated" so much that people are bad-mouthing it?
4 .... People are praying that God will deliver them from the evil of Flash Player?
OK, our Northern Walking Fountain of Misinformation . . . your turn.
