- pbhjpbhj 16y agois deprecated | has depreciated ?
- aberkowitz 16y agoDeprecated is past tense so either "was deprecated" or "has been deprecated" works. Can someone, more knowledgeable than I, confirm this?
- pbhjpbhj 16y agoI'm no English major by any stretch, they never teached us grammar at school ;0) My take: Deprecated is also used in computing to refer to the current status of a particular service or part (e.g. of a program or OS). "Parallel port printing is deprecated" means "Parallel port printing is 'no longer going to be supported going forward and likely to be removed completely'". Strictly yes it was deprecated as a completed action in the past but the status is that it is deprecated now.
- sudont 16y agoPresent tense indicates hope that Apple will come to their senses. As "It's currently depreciated, but will come back in full force." EDIT: Well, the proper from without using "be" is: Too bad Apple depreciated FireWire in favor of USB.
