Re: Vim9 dict key notation old fashion depreciated

Vocabulary pedant writing here.

Though the meaning is obvious in this context, "depreciate" means to lose
value, e.g. when a new car is driven off the lot, its value depreciates
25% or so.

To express disapproval of something, "deprecate" it.

There's just an iota of difference between "deprecate" and "depreciate". :-)*
