PSA: The abbreviation for “etcetera” is etc, NOT ect.
How Embarrassing!
I’ve seen quite a few anons the past few days that need a reminder.
For those who roll their eyes and say it’s not a big deal, that’s fine. But it’s hard to red pill smart people with sentences full of grammatical errors and misspellings.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
I.D. is an abbreviation for 2 words as well. I, and dentification. RIP Norm Macdonald.
Actually, the abbreviation is etc.
You can tell that it's an abbreciation because it always includes a period (full stop).
Thank you. You rarely see the period properly used after "etc." I think the OP even missed it in the title.

PSA: The abbreviation for “etcetera” is etc., NOT ect.
I think the rule is that etc. is never spelled without the period. When used at the end of a sentence however, the period in etc. can serve double duty as the period at the end of the sentence. If at the end of a question it is spelled etc.?
Not entirely sure, can someone confirm this?
Correct.
Etcetera is an English borrow word and completely correct.
