Off topic, but “etcpp” is a new one for me. Wiktionary suggests it is German, which amuses me because I write “etc. usw.” to mean the same thing.

whoops :D thought it was more international than this, since its pretty much as latin as etc. Interesting!

I read it as a little joke referring to C++, for what it's worth.

What's the difference between etcpp and etc?

[fanf2]

The pp implies there are manny more things, as opposed to just some more things. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/etc._pp.

sibling is right, although for me its mostly a habit, I rarely use etc.
