Difference between regrettable, unfortunate and deplorable?
The question is pretty much self explanatory. The three words convey the idea of something that happened in a non-desirable way, but I believe there are some differences between them, although they seem to be subtle.
On a side note, is it wrong to use the word "between" when listing more than two words, as I did when writing this question? If so, please, correct the sentence by explaining the right word to use.
Thanks in advance.
