    The correct form is 'etc'.

    etc is used at the end of a list to indicate that you have mentioned only some of the items involved and have not given a full list.

    Etc is a written abbreviation for 'et cetera.'

    It is "etc." You see it as 'ect' for the same reason you see "does" misspelled as "dose" - idiots who cannot spell. I disagree that it is because some are either sloppy typists and are too lazy to spell it properly; it is because they are too stupid to know the correct spelling. Following are some examples of stupid from this web site: Stupid spelling of "dose" How much dose it cost too build a house per square foot? Dose anybody know the recipe for the tour of italy from olive garden? How dose using a graduated camera filter help? What dose bang bang mean when lady gaga sings it on Beautifulul dirty rich what dose it mean? Stupid spelling of "ect" How can a person tell what style there home is? Like colonial, mission, victorian ect ect...? What programs could i use to make sure my computer is secure from viruses,trojans ect? Can someone help with a recipe containing rice, cauliflower, ect? What kind of stone is best to grind grain(wheat, barley, ect)?

    You see ect because people are ignorant - etc is a shortened form of the Latin et cetera....it is easy to remember if you know a little French (et - and) it means 'and the rest'

  • The way to abbreviate the word "etcetera" is etc. Adding the period at the end makes it an abbreviation so don't forget to add it =)

    Hope this helps!
