It's self-explanatory...I wonder if those that misuse the word know what it means... "If you're going to be that pedantic I'm going to do it right back to you. The example you gave 'ect' isn't misuse it's misspelling. So aren't they using it right but just spelling it wrong? If so, despite spelling it wrong yet using it right, doesn't that prove in itself that they do understand its meaning? | |||

Ad infinitum is another example of a Latin word which is used in English. Postscript has Latin origins but has evolved.

"I don't have a life until the afternoon , so I can argue with the best of them.
You corrected Yoni stating it WAS a Latin word. I corrected you by stating it IS a Latin word. The point is, is that it hasn't stopped being a Latin word .
Other Languages also use this LATIN word . Doesn't exactly give it much credence as an English word just that we, like millions of others, use it .
English has a rich tapestry of words derived from many languages. Latin is one of those languages and you can see this clearly in the church, in the legal system and in medicine. Some words/phrases have changed like postscript (removal of um) and others like ad finitum haven't.
BTW argue that ad finitum is a phrase and etc. isn't, is quite poor because even with my education, "and so on" has never been one word. So our above arguments with the use of word have become void .

"Come on someone must know its a classic!!" There was a sketch on Saturday Night Live where Billy Crystal plays a Travel Agent who is the Aunt of Yul Bryner. Full drag, but with the bald head. She (he?) answers the phone saying "Travel etcetera!...No you cannot fly there directly....you have to chaaaange in Atlantah!" Nobody has ever come close to his impersonation. | |||
