I'm not certain whether it's a typo or an ingenious pun, but I truly delight in the phrase "the 'correct' English weird". Well played!
Huh. "Self-deprecation" is definitely the "correct" English weird in that context, *but...* Looking at the etymology, "deprecate" goes back to a word having to do with getting something to go away (to pray (a thing) away), while "depreciation" is about a decrease in value. And when I am self-deprecating, I am implicitly denying or reducing my own value. So this would be a linguistic shift I could get behind!
“No self-depreciation over body image here!” self-depreciation is probably intended to be self-deprecation again.
