The commentator was quick in qualifying his remark with a statement to the effect that George Soros had spent quite some millions of dollars made in speculating against the Pound sterling in 1992 on charities. Unethical ethics? Ethical dilemma or what? I do not intend to dwell lengthily on such an overarching concept as ethics. We all have our own definition of ethics.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines ethics as a set of moral principles. Ethic is a singular word but is often used in plural. Perhaps that is why its definition tends to be so elastic.
