ET CETERA or ETC

Oh, dear!

Go axe somebody who cares.

et-SET-era

And yer you, too, are pronouncing it wrong.

R3 is right. Two t sounds. If you say it with a d sound your head needs to be shot off.

[quote] Two t sounds. If you say it with a d sound your head needs to be shot off.

Google dictionary says first is "T" and second is "D". (Google "et cetera" and dictionary shows up on first page)

Yul find the answer at the link:

R6 That's wrong then.

I pronounce it, "... and so on".

Every guy on that page is fuckable :)

The people who say "eksetera" are the same people who say "ekspecially" and "ekspresso".

And ASTERICK and AXE (for "ask.")

Merriam-Webster has the correct pronunciation.

I use "et al," so this conversation is irrelevant to me.

R14 that sounds more like an American pronunciation. But let's not get into the water vs water debate..

et. al. is usually for people, not things.

Que Sera Sera

Not the same, R15.

Anyone who would say EKcetera would say "let me ax you something". In other words a dumb mook.

Oh for fuck's sake. What a fascinating poll!

And by the way, while we are being pedantic and oh-dearish, "et al." has only one period, not two.

What about Peter Cetera (formerly of Chicago)?

Is it the Lesbian people or the Lebanese people ?

If you're a hillbilly cannibal and talking about someone named Albert, it has no periods.

Vair Saysse

Do you say da ta lounge or day ta lounge?

Only one is correct.

R24---was that a joke? Who is the hillbilly? Ignorant cunt.

[quote]Google dictionary says first is "T" and second is "D". (Google "et cetera" and dictionary shows up on first page)

Latin says that you pronounce the "t" twice and there is no "d".

Wrong combination OP.

It’s “et cætera”

Pronunciation Et-Setera in every day normal language.

In the “restituted pronunciation” ( used since 1959) it would be:

“Et- Ka-hey-tera”

r27 is humor-impaired. Think about it, sweetie.

And spare a thought for those who spell it "ect."

[quote]And spare a thought for those who spell it "ect."

Never! For it is written that such wickedness shall not be forgiven; neither in this age, nor in the age to come. And the same goeth for those who spell tongue. "tounge".

Gandalf, is that you? R32
