Etc not Ect

[WuzzaCBXRider]

It's commonly typed incorrectly. The abbreviation of etc is short for et cetera aka etcetera but NOT ect. It's never ec cetra.

Just a pet peeve of mine. I now return you to your usual discussions.

Oh, no more 'it is what it is' either. (Everything) is what it is after all.

Anything else bug you?

You know what really gets me?
"Your not going there"
I mean FFS, how hard is it to add an apostrophe between the u and the r and put an e on the end. Grrrrrr.

I know right? Oh wait, that's another one. WTF does 'I know right?' mean?

Looks like we all have a little OCD going on here

Yeah, and also..."Boom, that just happened", what the hell does that quantify?

 

[Kiwi Rider]

You Americans say 'right?' at the end of every sentence.
What's going on with that right?
A common one here in NZ with the uncouth poorly educated is the term... 'Youse'.
They use it as a plural form of 'you'.... idiots!

 

[WuzzaCBXRider]

Now now, its only 'some' Americans that say that. And 'Youse' is hopefully going away, being (yoused) by only some residents in New York and Jersey. Noemsayin?
