downgrade/compromise standards/principles
Hello,
I realize that "compromise" might sound much better than "downgrade" which is seldom used, but do the following sentences make sense:
"I will not downgrade/compromise my standards because of her. Not for anything."? Downgrade means to me "to accept lesser standards or principles" in this context. To aspire to something lesser. What do you think?
