Suggestion depreciated or deprecated

    I saw that digitalpoint has mentioned several forum sections were depreciated. I understood what he meant, that the forum section had been replaced by a new section in the Marketplace.

    I thought that it was the wrong word and that the correct word is deprecated, not depreciated. Today I caught myself changing from one spelling to the other in a post I made after reading the actual message posted in those sections, but then decided to look it up and confirm which was correct.

    I believe that the term to describe a forum section/feature that is no longer going to be supported is deprecated. I would suggest that the warning message be corrected to use deprecated instead of depreciated.
