Can you explain in detail why hydrochloric acid has a lower pH than ethanoic acid?

Can you tell us something else about ethanoic acid?  Does it have a common name?  Do you know it's elemental composition?  And do these give you a hint?
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
