Custom

As Jay Nordlinger often says, how about a little language? This time, from the American Constitution Society, the liberal answer to the Federalist Society.

On Monday, 10/23 at 12:30 pm in room F209, ACS Guest
Speaker Nathan Slotnick will speak on the Morality and Ethics of Stem Cell Research.

I am very glad he is speaking both about the morality and about the ethics of stem cell research - I'd hate if it were one or the other. Except they're completely synonymous. Mores and ethos are Latin and Greek, respectively, and mean the same thing.

Part of me, a large, vindictive part, wants to connect this linguistic blunder to the ideology of the ACS. So, go with that!
