The two words are given as synonyms in Roget,
Allen. And, if you wish, there is an adequate
history of both words to show that they have been
used interchangeably for centuries. Both words
spring from Latin and the two were used as
synonyms at the time of the Late Republic, so Roget has it right.
Algore just overspoke and lacked the character to
immediately acknowledge this publicly. His
Kool-Aid Kooks have been trying to waffle-word a
defense for his blunder, but such claims just have no traction.
Game, set, and match.
