Deprecated - is it a word?

[John Cornellier <jcornellier -at- abingdon -dot- oilfield -dot- slb -dot- com>]

Hi, I'm in the UK, and I was about to write in some release notes that a 
given feature was "deprecated". Someone said  "Americans don't use this 
word". Can any of you left-ponders confirm or deny this, and if the 
former, what is the alternative? I'm sceptical as it gets 21 million 
returns in Google and has a lengthy entry in Wikipedia.
