This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Do any of those languages actually have a rule that you're supposed to put a dot in the middle of "et," though? It'd be pretty weird if they did because "et" is one word...

"e.t.c." makes about as much sense as "a.n.d. other things."

(At least the old-fashioned English way of doing it, with a ligature connecting the e and t like so: "&c" was somewhat reasonable.)
