Isn't etc just short for etcetera? So wouldn't etcetera be the proper
pronunciation?
yes, it is. i'm not a native speaker, but if i recall correctly, they
have always taught us to pronouce 'etc' as 'and so on', so we didn't use
the original latin words (the same applies to 'e.g.' or 'i.e.').
however, i must admit that 'and so on' sounds like a ridiculous name for
a directory :)
by the way, i would add one more word to the list. how would one
pronounce 'chroot'? like see-age-root?
regards,
