I agree this is not a forum related to grammar, but there are lots of not-English native speaking people around here, and writing correctly is a form to show a little respect to them (we).

Each time I find a new/unknown word, I have multiple choices:

Select Case New/Unknown Word
Case New
Catch Dictionary: Learn something new
Case Slang
If Not in Dictionary Then also learn something new, although less useful!
Case Is a Joke
Ha, Ha, Ha
Case Mispelled Word
Try to figure what kind of thing makes sense in that context
Case Else
Keep with my Doubt!
End Select

Get the picture?

And "et cetera" really means "and what follows", "and so on", etc.
