Subject: Deprecated - is it a word?
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.
