Are you still cross about that?
I'm more cross about the loss of common understanding of the old uses than the gain of new ones, but then I sneakily exploit that general ignorance 🙂
In the examples of new ways of using "aesthetic", even without context, there is no material ambiguity. The alternative to accepting the ebb and flow of our language is to be French, and that's not something I would wish upon anybody.

I agree with your take on it. It's improper use of the word aesthetic, something should be done to stop it. Innit.
