    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.

    Well shit, I've been using it for 3-4 years now and only now someone points out I'm writing it incorrectly?

    EDIT: And no, it's not an American thing, I'm easterner and English is my third language
