File under "fun fact" and "DYK?"
The first instance of the letter "t" in the word "etcetera" is NOT silent. This even applies when abbreviating to "etc.".

@thereg001 I think of it as "et cetera". Makes it easier. It might also be easier if people who wrote in English were less inclined to force words to mate with each other.😏

I have been witness to many of person on audio or video pronouncing it as eck-cetra.
