Do any of those languages actually have a rule that you're supposed to put a dot in the middle of "et," though? It'd be pretty weird if they did because "et" is one word...

"e.t.c." makes about as much sense as "a.n.d. other things."

(At least the old-fashioned English way of doing it, with a ligature connecting the e and t like so: "&c" was somewhat reasonable.)

If their first language is a Romance language it still isn't an excuse, because "etc" comes from the Latin.

Maybe by dogsled or pogo stick, but mules would die of exposure and trying to go by car would require a 4x4 and blazing a new trail through the wilderness.

There literally is no road from Chevak to Nome. In fact, there isn't a road from Chevak to anywhere. The furthest you can get from the center of town by car is... the airport.

The bigger deal is the other ruling, allowing Trump to fire the heads of [formerly] independent Federal agencies and replace them with corrupt cronies and sycophants.

Zek wasn't good at business either, at least not by the time we saw him.

Although a 5600G isn't very good for gaming, it sure is convenient down the line when you repurpose the old machine as a home server.

I looked up how to date the globe based on which countries are in existence on it.

Hopefully my neighbors will rejoice as I no longer have to cut and drill steel.

My next goal is to find another junk trailer so I can get the wheels more centered and have better handling and keep the rear of the trailer from scraping when going up and down driveways.
