I think it's more the fact people say 'ecsetera' than they think it's spelt like that

I'm very glad I don't associate with anyone who says it like that.

I feel your pain.

Most people have no idea how to spell the word so just presume it's ett-ce-terra therefore use the painfully annoying ECT.

It is not a word, it is actually two words.

It annoys me also.

Spelt (in British English) is also the simple past tense and past participle of the verb to spell.

Virtually everyone I know pronounces it like that, listen carefully when people say it, a lot of people do it.

It'd be interesting to find out if the people who pronounce it "ek cetera" instead "et cetera" took any form of Latin at school.
