Folk that think they're clever by using Latin in their dialogue...

... but get it wrong.

These scratters boil my piss.

Couple on today's A Place In The Sun. The woman (100% wadnt) kept saying how certain properties "ticked boxes ek-cetera" instead of "etcetera". She probably writes "ect" instead of "etc", as well.

General rule: Especially if you're on TV, don't try and look clever by using words that either aren't in your vocabulary or words that you don't know about.

There may be other examples of this practice, but I'm too upset about this assault on common sense & decency.

This is one of them threads that screams "I need to get out more!"

Just because some folk "sapere aude" other snobs decide to rattle on ad nauseum

They aren't clever enough to know it's Latin so that's a fail
