Offtopic, but "etc." isn't an acronym or initialism so shouldn't have periods after each letter. It is an abbreviation for "et cetera".

Fun fact: historically it could also be rendered &c., because, after all, the ampersand is itself just a ligature for "et".

You're right, I really don't know where I picked that up from, but I think I've been doing it for a long time now, don't think I can break the habit.

Maybe they're saying that the Elite Tauren Chieftain imposed it? :-D
