Hello, mine is a silly stupid question of clarification, I have just started reading the Pathfinder manual and there's this point I can't get.
What's the REAL difference between a Supernatural & Extraordinary ability?
Everything I was able to find was this:

Supernatural Abilities (Su): Using a supernatural
ability is usually a standard action (unless defined
otherwise by the ability’s description). Its use cannot be
disrupted, does not require concentration, and does not
provoke attacks of opportunity.
Extraordinary Abilities (Ex): Using an extraordinary
ability is usually not an action because most extraordinary
abilities automatically happen in a reactive fashion.
Those extraordinary abilities that are actions are
usually standard actions that cannot be disrupted, do
not require concentration, and do not provoke attacks of
opportunity.

which is fine for me. But then confusion arises,for example here:

Paladin Aura of Courage (Su)
vs
Fighter Bravery (Ex)

what's the difference in terms of use?
Can someone be so gentle to explain me the differences during combat/gameplay?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English, I am Italian...
