Random morning thought:
How do you, personally, abbreviate "et cetera" (Latin, 'and the rest' or 'and so on') in English:

In English "etc." and in Italian "ecc." but I use these abbreviation sparingly to avoid an ugly double .. at the end of a phrase.

@TicklishHoneyBee I use both "etc." and "&c." depending on context, but I prefer the latter whenever I can get away with it
@TicklishHoneyBee @jpm I write it “etc.” but that doesn’t save any time because my brain pauses to savour imagining Yul Brynner’s scenery chewing delivery. “et cetera ET Ceteraaaa, ET CETERAAAAAAAAAAAA”
