is there any difference between the words esthetic and aesthetic in terms of drama?

Question

My drama prof says there is but I can't find a difference.

Answer 1

No. The Americans tend to drop the 'a' in this type of word.

Definition:
\'esthetic\', a. 1. of esthetics 2. of beauty 3. sensitive to art and beauty; showing good taste; artistic.
Also spelled \'aesthetic\'
.

Answer 2

Yay, stirring up some controversy. That's the hip-hop way. Lol Just kidding. Umm technically speaking, there's a two-letter difference. But seriously, think about this. A black guy goes up to his white friend and says, "What's up my n*gga?". The white guy responds, "Chillin". What you're saying is that the black guy said the white guy was a n*gger...(and that's incorrect) So in a way, the word has evolved past it's slang version of the word n*gger and has now been used as a noun for a person, regardless of race. There will always be people who don't like the word being used but it's been proliferated to the point that you can't do much about it. And just remember this, I didn't change the meaning of the word, society did. How many songs(particularly rap songs) have used the word?

Answer 3

I definitely think that "aesthetic" is much more esthetic.
