Not enough people know this, but when you say "etc" out loud in reference to the directory, it is supposed to sound like "etsy".

I expect there will be people who reply to this comment to argue it should be "E-T-C" or "Et Cetera". You can ignore those people; they probably say "exclamation mark" instead of "bang".

These little tidbits can be amusing. Yet more often than not, void of actual technical knowledge, and with an air of arrogance, they are just a means to express superiority by proxy.

It's akin to debating Einstein on physics by belittling his accent.
