Generally, the terms ethics and morality are used interchangeably, although a few different communities (academic, legal, or religious, for example) will occasionally make a distinction. In fact, Britannica’s article on ethics considers the terms to be the same as moral philosophy. While understanding that most ethicists (that is, philosophers who study ethics) consider the terms interchangeable, let’s go ahead and dive into these distinctions.
Both morality and ethics loosely have to do with distinguishing the difference between “good and bad” or “right and wrong.” Many people think of morality as something that’s personal and normative, whereas ethics is the standards of “good and bad” distinguished by a certain community or social setting.

Not sure if you are "academic, legal or religious" to try to split hairs on whether it is ever ethical to break an unethical law - like killing innocent people because you were ordered to do so and thus legally "obligated" to do so - but "Generally" the terms are interchangeable.
That's the language that we speak up here in Canada. It's English, and your
incorrect implication was insulting.
