The verb "to see" has taken on a much broader meaning in American English. It has begun to mean "to understand" "to observe" and even "to hear"; things not having to do with the sense of sight. As the world is continually becoming more visual and less about listening, particularly in the U.S.A., it is an understandable albeit regrettable vernacular evolution. I frequently point this out to my students when they tell me they have "seen" a concert. I always respond "How did it look?" Nevertheless, despite my personal pedagogical efforts, obnoxious though they be, with the young people in my charge, I remain well aware that the more a word is used in a particular way, the more it redefines itself. With this in mind, I would never think to correct a colleague in a public forum. I would be rude of me.
