Hi Y'all,

Ron, thank ye fae the welcome! A'll hae tae wark on ma
Scots, tae be sure!  Yuins wha hae the Scots,
please dae post.  A'll be makkin muckle mony mistaks,
mesel.

I have a question about a common error.  What is
the origin of abbreviating "et cetera" as "ect." instead
of "etc."?  Is it a lack of knowing the full term?
