amoral

> amoral and immoral
amoral and immoral are not interchangeable. Amoral means "lacking moral standards, devoid of moral sense", indicating that the person so described has no concern with morals, as in "The child was completely amoral and did not know the difference between right and wrong". Immoral means "against or breaking moral standards, bad". "He knows he's doing wrong but he goes on being completely immoral" and "commit immoral acts". Note the spelling of both words. Amoral has only one m but immoral has double m.
