Tom, can you clarify?

First, Tom, et al. is an abbreviated form of Latin, et alii, and it
means "and others." Et cetera, abbreviated "Etc." not "Ect."
means "and so forth." Et ux., like in deeds, is "et uxor," and
means "and wife." We still use a lot of Latin in English.
I know a lot about Bob Jones University, old Bob, Sr & Jr., so
what else? It is kinda like a joke and we have treated it lightly
in here. Some of us would consider it dangerous, but most of the
matriculates are harmless, just naive southern kids.
They are not actually snake handlers and the trouser worm is
there almost as much as at Kansas State Teachers College.
Oral Roberts...yes, that is a dandy. Like other famous folk, he is
said to have a hidden brother, Rectal.
Hang in there Tommy....LOL
