Did anyone mention "hero"? I've given students the assignment of researching and writing about a hero, and I'm always appalled at the people they think are heroes: gangsta rappers, professional athletes, the owner of a shoe store because he gave someone a discount (yes, really). <*sighs*>

I'm guessing as well and I suspect that it is supposed to be error when trying for either "ethereal" or "ethical." I am uncertain as to which.
