To not understand ect?

[GretaGip]

It just doesn't make sense.

I'm baffled.

^How^ are people pronouncing it to think this makes sense?

Is it a typo, maybe? Or do you keep seeing it from multiple people?

I hear people saying ‘eckcetera’ rather than ‘etcetera’ which is why people use the wrong abbreviation I think.

I imagine ECce Tera. Probably.

They are pronouncing it eccetetra (excetera)

Oops eccetera I meant!

Some people are dyslexic. Hth

I've only seen it on here - but see it lots, and it does annoy me. But then, I am gulity of pronouncing it wrongly, so I might equally annoy people.

It's pronounced et-set-ra, or et-set-era depending on your accent. Shortened to etc in writing.

They are probably the same people who pronounce ask as "aks".

Am I the only one who opened this thread expecting a thread about treatment resistant depression?! 🤣

I honestly believe the majority of people think the word lose is spelled loose.

I don't believe you are baffled at all. Even written the wrong way, everyone knows what it means.

We had a PowerPoint presentation at DC's school this week. There were numerous punctuation and grammar mistakes and I counted five instances of ect!

This is a common error for those who are loosing their minds.

I'm not baffled about what it means, I'm confused how that constriction is derived from the pronunciation.

A couple of posters have enlightened me that some folk may be pronouncing it differently than I do.

So that's all good.

Where does it end though?

Free reign
Que
I am adverse to
Rest bite
ETC ETC

Life is tough for pedants 😔

Baffled.

Oh please.

But here, have what you're after:

You are a superior being, much smarter than these illiterate fools you must suffer on the daily.

Do you feel better now this has been confirmed? I do hope so.

For years I thought it was 'eksetra' and didn't understand why people shortened it incorrectly to etc.
Then realised I was the one who had been wrong my whole life. I was probably 13 at the time.

In France and Spain people write ect as the abbreviation for Et CeTera.

Its not ECT, its ETC.

Short for Et Cetera. Latin translation "et" = "and", "cetera" = "the rest".

Pronounciation: Ett Set Erra

It’s a typo obviously as no-one pronounces it that way

Abit
Alot
I could care less

I keep reading 'would of' and I have just read it on another thread. 'Of' is not verb.

Fuck me I hate que! I see it here so often.

I also have to avoid most weight loss threads due to the lose/loose thing.
