First off, if you don't see a difference there, you need to study the language further and I don't think I can help you with that. No offense intended.

Secondly, that's hardly the authoritative source on the definitions of ethics and morality. So as to avoid spinning too far off-topic here, I recommend you have a look at a discussion thread on the subject of ethics vs. morals that I instigated not long ago. While "the definitive" explication of ethics and morals has not been offered there, a fair amount of discussion that comes surprisingly close to that mark did occur. I hope you'll find it to be of benefit.

Yes, that's right, I'm "a philosopher". More to the point, I'm an ethical theorist. This mostly means that I run off at the mouth too much and harp on logical validity a lot.
