Mike Chapman Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Why is it that so many people on the forums abbreviate Etcetera to ECT., and not the correct ETC. Is this purely typing error or because so many pronounce it as ECETERA and "Continue in the same way". :-S Regards pedantically Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
empress Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Hullo Mike, And misuse of apostrophes. Perhaps we should all read (and have a good laugh) at Lynne Truss's "Eats Shoots & Leaves"! Pedantically yours, Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docted Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Mike I think its the pronunciation element where the "t" is silent like the "p" in the bath. Wet in the bath anyway pedantically and otherwise Docted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
