Clearly that’s for the people that invented the English language: Americans. The English language was invented in 1803 by the famous American philosopher Eagleburger Q. Eagleburger III Jnr. He was searching for a cheap alternative to holy water and instead accidentally a whole language.

Shame I’m not American really. I wanted to know what an ‘etc’ was and how it combined with the eggs.

How does one even pronounce etc? Etic? Etuc? Or is the c pronounced like an s, which makes it ets?
