Hazel,
I'm getting a little tired of this, but I feel that I have to add this.
morior is not irregular. It's just deponent. All deponents work the same way.
arbitrare = judge!
verere = fear!
fruere = enjoy!
utere = use!
loquere = speak!
sequere = follow!
Morere is not accented on the e but on the o. If you don't believe me, just scan Aeneid 2.550
nunc morere." hoc dicens altaria ad ipsa trementem (and mind the elisions at hoc and ad).
It's a 3rd conjugation and that isn't its infinitive, it's the imperative. Mori is the infinitive.
As for authorities on Latin, I'm sure that Virgil is more authoritative than you.
If you like, I can pull up some Cicero on et. Hell, you don't need to ask, here is a quote with plenty of et's:
Nam, quoad longissime potest mens mea respicere spatium praeteriti temporis et pueritiae memoriam recordari ultimam, inde usque repetens hunc video mihi principem et ad suscipiendam et ad ingrediendam rationem horum studiorum exstitisse. (from the beginning of his Pro Archia).
Drifterwood, nunc quidem est futuendum.

If only he knew about the internet...
(Sorry if that isn't too accurate - I think thats pretty much it though...)
Oh and for the priests out there:
Oremus:
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae,
vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clemamus
exsules filii Hevae,
ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos
misericordes oculos ad nos converte;
et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exilium ostende.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.
