ericjjyy Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I don't get what the icethetics title is supposed to mean?Aestheticsnoun (used with a singular verb)1. the branch of philosophy dealing with such notions as the beautiful, the ugly, the sublime, the comic, etc., as applicable to the fine arts, with a view to establishing the meaning and validity of critical judgments concerning works of art, and the principles underlying or justifying such judgments.So basically judgements of art, in this case it's the judgement of hockey art. Hockey is on ice so they combine the words "ice" and "aestethics" and gets icethetics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsM29 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I gotcha. I never caught that before. I always saw it as ice-the-tics, which never made any sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon_Matrix Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I gotcha. I never caught that before. I always saw it as ice-the-tics, which never made any sense to me.Yea... I am with you on that one. I also saw it as ice-ethics which made no sense, but for some reason thought it was spelled different on purpose.

AsM29 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Funny, that is how I initially saw it then when trying to figure it out came up with what I posted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytimp Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I gotcha. I never caught that before.

Gothamite Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Funny, I always saw the title as it was intended. Maybe that's because "æsthetics" is a regular part of my lexicon.It's probably too clever by half; I can see how others might have a real problem with it. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

The_Admiral Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Is it still aesthetics, or are we supposd to start using "esthetics" now? I'm still holding out on "anaesthesia." ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I believe that "esthetics" without the a is a variant, acceptible but not preferred. Not aware of a significant movement in that direction.So far as I know, you don't have to use the ash (æ), but you should you use an a. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

The_Admiral Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I'm seeing "esthetic" more and more, which, ironically, looks really ugly in print. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 True enough. If any word ought to be elegant, it should be "æsthetics". Maybe that's why I like using the ash.I wonder if he would have been clearer with a hyphen, as in "ice-thetics"? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
