You don't say 'etc' as 'etsy', do you?
>>
No, I say "ect." as a true American
>>
>>100120435
not once in my entire life

i don't even use "etc" unless i'm rushing. for me, it's et cetera.
>>
wait is that why they called the hipster store etsy? people say etc. like that?

I don't really say much of anything. No one to talk to really. Most technology related thing I have said to another person in a year has been ``Oh, you pushed _this_ button'' when I was referring to a KVM switch that had made their keyboard and mouse non-funcitonal.

Fpbp, this is the only shorter way to say it than etsy
>>
>>100120914
We gravitate toward abbreviated ways of saying things we often need to say. Similarly /usr/bin is "user bin" and not "slash you ess ahr slash bin".

If using the word normally:

(actually spoken quickly and slurred into something closer to "eshetra")
If referring to /etc:
>slash eee tee cee

I say "and so on".

how do you guys pronounce gif?
remember that 'g' stands for graphic
>>
>>100128384
atm stands for automated teller machine, so do you pronounce it ō t m?
>>
Ehtehzeh. The american mind can't comprehend this
>>
>>100128779
ATM is an initialism. GIF is an acronym, nobody say GEE AYE EFF.
>>
>>100128817
my point is just that how they sound as the full words doesn't matter
i still pronounce it as "gif", though
>>
>>100128384
I just say the whole thing. Graphics Interchange Format. There is no ambiguity and people know I'm not talking about peanut butter.

>>100120709
No it's not you colossal retard. It's not even an English phrase, it's present in a plethora of romantic and germanic languages, thus claiming this has something to do with English in particular is laughable at best. And it stands for "et cetera", not "Etcetera". Those are two seperate latin words, "et" means "and" and "cetera" can be translated as "so on". The proper way is to emphasize them being seperate words.

It's not even an English expression, retard.

Everyone in Europe knows it's a Latin expression and can pronounce the actual thing - et cetera
