It's your mate's Birthday and he reckons that he's having a quiet one with his missus.

Your other mate says to you; 'He ought to come to the pub, it's his 21st'

You reply with insider knowledge that his gf found his PC porn folder an hour ago; 'Don't worry, he is coming to the pub. The twat'

What do you understand by the "is"/"ought" dichotomy?
Do you agree that you can't get from "is" to "ought"?

hint: It's about ethics; moral decisions and judgements etc.
Emotivism, and how it leads to pescriptivism etc.
