Et cetera!

<p>Ok a little pet peeve of mine: when people say "ect." The word is et cetera and the abbreviation is "etc." alright well on that note, anyone else wanna share their pet peeves as it pertains to this site.</p>

<p>NO NO NO ~~~~</p>

<p>Your my pet peeve..there's already a thread for things that tick you off!! Get creative with your threads!! ect ect</p>

<p>Any abuse of the English language. Aside from my own. And when people use racial slurs casually, like nig*** and f**.</p>

<p>And when teachers are dumber than their students.</p>

<p>second!
there's a whole thread with like 200+ responses . . but anyway
I hate when someone's in a bad mood and just HAS to take everyone down with them . . i hate when older siblings have to get in trouble for something their younger sibling does, even if they had nothing to do with it. . I hate when computers screw up, because usually it happens at the time you really need it to work efficiently. People that lie or suck up to teachers . . and I hate mice, and cockroaches, most insects. </p>

<p>But I'm not really a hateful person :)</p>

<p>Pertains to this site? Not much . . i dunno, it doesn't bother me when people have really high stats and ask if they can get in ___ community college .. it's easy to ignore stuff on forums. . even when people get in arguments over silly stuff, it might be fun just to watch, without participating</p>

<p>sarorah, referring to your younger brother who almost killed your computer privileges, are we?
I do like insects, particularly dragonflies; if anyone can figure out who their predator is in Africa we can eliminate malaria, because a dragonfly's favorite food: a mosquito.</p>

<p>lol. this thread is so ironic. I was JUST thinking that when I read someone's post that said 'ect' instead of 'etc.'</p>

<p>we were probably reading the same post..lol</p>

<p>when people say things like "we played good", "It went good", etc... It's like fingernails on a chalkboard. I hate it!</p>

<p>I hate cluster. That is why I don't own anything I'm not going to use.</p>

<p>It annoys me when people say "et-SEH-tur-ra" which is the Anglicized form and somewhat still correct. From some Latin video as a kid, I always knew it was "et keh-ter-a." I hate changing a foreign idiom to fit the English language.</p>

<p>I didn't know it was "et keh-ter-a"!</p>

<p>Effulgent, you sound like a Frenchwoman, even though you are not. That is precisely the attitude they take to Anglicization.</p>
