Ordinance
Hello, would someone please tell me what's the difference between 'ordiance' and 'order' ? thanks.
Top answer
As far as I know "ordinance" is an official (usually written) order. In terms of its importance it's between an order and a law, I think. An ordinance is usually issued by town/city/park/community authorities to enforce certain patterns of behaviour.

The US President sometimes makes policy through "Executive Order" to get around Congress.
As I recall, Harry Truman established the NSA by executive order, the largest spy organization the world has ever known.
On the local level, I believe ordinances are usually voted on by city councils etc.
