I know that "unique", which became a synonym of "unusual" years ago, has now also become a synonym of "distinct", especially in tech contexts, like "unique hits", but it still grates on my ears (or eyes, in this case). Languages are fluid, and change is inevitable, but I'm sad when those changes are careless and cause a loss of precision of expression.
