Sorry to necropost, but I waited many a month for this opportunity, for I have a nitpick to shoot back with: > What a wonderful word, I feel embiggened by it's correctness ------------------------------------------------^ “it’s”, just like “he’s”, is a contraction with the verb “is”. What you meant was “its”, meaning a posession belonging to “it”. *runs, ducks and hides* Depreciate, for me, is basically de- (which usually has a negative meaning) and preciate, i.e. <gollum> ”making a precious” </gollum>). ;-) But well, being a foreign speaker and a grammar n*zi, I might have an unfair advantage about such thing. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me with any Facebook service.
