We’ve all seen it. When you want to trail off your voice but you are typing so you cannot express it. The using of Etc. allows you to give a few examples of something without going into further detail.
But why use it? Using etc is like saying, “There are more examples, but I am too lazy to write them.”
Or better yet, “I don’t actually have any more examples than these two, but now you think I do…”
I am guilty of using etc. I use them in my posts, pages, links, etc…. WHOOPS! Sorry about that.
It is faster and easier to use etc. than to do you due diligence. But hey, sometimes we are pressed for time, right?
I am ordering a cease and desist to the using of ETC!!! Stop doing things halfway! Starting really saying what you are thinking.
Hopefully if we band together, we can start hearing what the world wants to hear!!!
They want to hear your thoughts, hopes, dreams, etc….
