A similar is a Latin expression which means "and other things" or "and so forth". It is a translation of the Greek "καὶ τὰ ἕτερα" (kai ta hetera, and the other things). Often the expression is spelled out as one word - and so on - and shortened to etc. Also, the spelling et caetera or et cætera is encountered.
The term et cetera is used to indicate that a summary is not exhaustive. In the sentence "We have a lot of fruit: apples, bananas, oranges etc". stands for "and other types of fruit." Game mode
Both the game modes, etc. as well as the like are used. Both are defensible. Originally, there are two words in two words; It is Latin for 'and others'. The spelling et cetera has been in dictionaries and lists since. But because the word combination is used as a whole - the words are not used in Dutch separately - there is no objection to writing and writing.
And so forth, originally consisted of loose words, but has grown up to and so on. In the spelling pointer Our Language is included as one word (next to et cetera). The language unity still uses the spelling as two separate words. Abbreviations
Nowadays the abbreviation etc. is commonplace. In older prints, it is also called & amp; c., In some typographies & amp; yet recognizable as a ligature of et.
