- SonOfLilit 4y agoLike you would pronounce it in Latin? I mean, it's wrong, but in the too-educated direction, not the not-educated-enough direction.
- hn_go_brrrrr 4y agoMany classicists believe the Latin C sounded like our K. So you get words pronounced like Kaesar, ketera, kivis, etc.
- slobiwan 4y agoPretty sure the comment was about the video narrator pronouncing it "ek setera", not "et setera" or even "et ketera" (I counted 3 instances). And I agree, just like people who say "supposably[1]", it exposes somebody who isn't well read. [1] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qsJzB74N7o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qsJzB74N7o

- ptomato 4y agothat's an (historical latin pronunciation is a subject of some debate) acceptable latin pronunciation of it.
- homieg33 4y agoTomato tomato. Maybe he thinks his way is funner to say.
