Why do you do this to yourself? One mod. will see this and it will be put on the cave story 2 thread. You should have learned with the other thread you tried to open.

No, it can't, mainly because the base abbreviation is etc, and not ect. But abbreviating each letter is also wrong, because that would imply that each letter denotes a seperate word, when in fact it does not.

Yes! He speaks the truth!:p

Well yeah, ect or e.c.t are both wrong. But e.t.c isn't completely wrong.

"Etcetera" becomes "etc.". It is an abbreviation.

ect., e.t.c., and e.c.t. are all wrong. The latter two are wrong because they represent acronyms of several words when "etcetera" is only one word, and the former is because "etcetera" doesn't start with "ect".

The confusion is due to some people incorrectly pronouncing the first "t" as a "c", "k" or "x" sound, which blends with the "c". This causes some confusion about the spelling of the word because using the "c" sound makes it sound like "ecetera", which makes people think that the abbreviation is "ect.", since that is the order of the letters in the self-inflicted misspelling of the word.

Doesn't help that most people can't spell the word "etcetera".

Apparently you belong to a majority here, seeing as "et cetera" has a space in it :p
"Et cetera" is a Latin phrase. "Etcetera" is the common English spelling. If every English word was written in the Latin words it was based upon then we might as bloody well speak Latin.

Wikipedia said:
The one-word spelling "etcetera" is commonly used, and is accepted as correct by many dictionaries.

Hey, broham. If you're going to deleted my post you best delete the other ones too. I'm pretty fucking sure this is a CAVE STORY 2 thread, not a spelling/grammar lesson.

Well then, my post shouldn't have been deleted in the first place.

After all, it was commenting on the current subject.

This is going nowhere fast.

@MS: If you have a problem with me then say it via PM, which is much better than reposting the same deleted post enough times to warrant a temp ban.
