Comment on Truly innovative feature for breaking it
What is ectera?
A misspelling of etcetera, commonly abbreviated “etc.” which is Latin (“et cetera”) for “and others.”
If you want to be a douchey nerd you can pronounce it like it would’ve been in Ancient Rome, with a “k” sound for the c. It’s fun.
Ooh that’s a word I hadn’t considered doing that too. It’s fun using classical latin pronunciations with people you want to annoy
Well shit, I’ve been using it for 3-4 years now and only now someone points out I’m writing it incorrectly?
Some weird people pronounce it as “exetera”.
almost as grating as “expresso”
