That might be... although I double-checked it using http://www.m-w.com/ , which
I'm pretty certain is an American dictionary.
OK, let's turn to the Almighty to settle this:
http://www.google.ca/search?q=esthetics Results 1 - 10 of about 85,900.
http://www.google.ca/search?q=aesthetics Results 1 - 10 of about 847,000.
I rest my case.
