For years I've been saying software is "depreciated" , today I just noticed that the term is "deprecated".

Not sure either term really means what we think it does when talking about old software though.

    Deprecated, To be removed and no longer used

    Depreciated, to loose value (usually $$)

    to loose sth - make it less tight
    to lose sth - cease to have it

    Deprecated meaning:

    To belittle or disprove.

    I could apply that meaning to probably 50% of live packages on npm.

    The idea is it's the *maintainer* deprecating a package - ie. "I wrote this, and I'm telling you it's crap and you should no longer use it". In that sense the term is accurate, though it's fair to say I think it's used in a technology context far more often than not these days.

    Looks like your old term was deprecated.
