it's etc. not ect.

et cetera (or etcetera) is abbreviated as etc.
For some reason, many people spell it as ect.
If you say et cetera three times, someone will think you are repeating actor Yul Brynner's line from the Broadway musical and movie THE KING AND I

Yeah, that's a very common mistake. Plus, with my typing 'skills' I can even accomplish that unintentionally.

I think it originates in mispronunciation, English speakers being unfamiliar with the silent 't' and swapping the letters around to compensate.

If you listen carefully, those who mispell, mispronounce the word ect-setera.

I kinda like "et al," even though it has a slightly different meaning. It adds a touch of snobbery to one's pronouncements.
