deprecate
tr.v. de·pre·cat·ed, de·pre·cat·ing, de·pre·cates
1. To express disapproval of; deplore.
2. To belittle; depreciate.
[Latin dprecr, dprect-, to ward off by prayer : d-, de- + precr, to pray; see prek- in Indo-European Roots.]depre·cating·ly adv.
depre·cation n.
depre·cator n.
Usage Note: The first and fully accepted meaning of deprecate is “to express disapproval of.” But the word has steadily encroached on the meaning of depreciate. It is now used, almost to the exclusion of depreciate, in the sense “to belittle or mildly disparage,” as in He deprecated his own contribution. In an earlier survey, this newer sense was approved by a majority of the Usage Panel.

Its gotta be a regional thingy.
The hillbillies around here have always supposed that deprecate was the reason the privy chat was not for Tingly's sweet ears.

Yep, you're right...the guy is a real jerk.naesatt said:He wouldn't agree to Judge JudyOh well, no vacation for me
The a-hole continued this morning, and is filing a counter claim. I guess he wised up and finely consulted an attorney.
How many times can he continue, and what is considered a good reason?
I am guessing he is filing a counter claim for having the car towed to the dealership, and to have new keys cut for the car.
I do not think it should hold up because if he hadn't broken our contract in the first place, he would have never incurred those expenses.
Am I right or does it not work that way?

Q: How many times can he continue, and what is considered a good reason?
A: Usually the number of continuances in small claims is limited; check your statutes.
Q: I am guessing he is filing a counter claim for having the car towed to the dealership, and to have new keys cut for the car.
A: Don't guess; read his pleadings.
Q: I do not think it should hold up because if he hadn't broken our contract in the first place, he would have never incurred those expenses. Am I right or does it not work that way?
A: Try every defense you can; I couldn't tell you what will work.
