Is it ironic that...

a national organization for education accreditation confuses the words "assure" and "ensure" (as well as "continuous" and "continual"). Example from www.abet.org: "In the United States, accreditation is a non-governmental, peer-review process assuring the quality of the postsecondary education students receive."
