Oh this fucks me off.

Also, on a different topic, I'm annoyed about a sign outside a local shop saying "we sell rabbit hutches, bird houses, turf ect"

Ugh!

Yes, ect is a Molesworth spelling. I think it's OK to abbreviate this to "&c."; but I once had a boss who nearly spontaneously combusted at the sight of it. He went through the document and amended every instance to "ect". Twat.
