So it's not just me who's noticed this stupid and pernicious corruption of the language. "Optics," for crying out loud...

I just started noticing that myself. I would say within the last 12 months. I heard a lawyer use it back in March, that was the first tine I really noticed it enough to remember that I heard it.
