The similarity of spelling and meaning of deprecate and depreciate has led to confusions in the use, with deprecate being used simply as a synonym for depreciate in the sense ‘disparage or belittle’. This use is now well established and is widely accepted in standard English. In particular, the phrases self-deprecating and self-deprecatory are far more common than the alternatives self-depreciating and self-depreciatory.
