It is used in English, but only in rather oevrblown prose - I agree that 'manners' is better (though it tends to have implications of hat-raising, table manners etc, whereas mores is perhaps broader in scope) [[User:Jermaiad|Jermaiad]] 08:42, 10 January 2008 (EST)

:I just did a Latin-English check here [http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/Latin/], and '''''mores''''' (or '''''morium''''') translates into ''ways, conduct, character, morals''. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 08:52, 10 January 2008 (EST)
