Don't forget to remember the correct usage of "et al." too.   (That, of course, means to eat it all.   That brings to mind that old TV commercial, where the guy said, "I can't believe I ate the whole thing".   He could have reworded that sentence to simply say, "I can't believe I et al. of it".

My ex's grandmother used to use "et" for "ate."

I thought it was strange in that grandmama was a stickler for correct English and was a Wellesley grad from long ago...roommate of Madame Chiang Kai-shek as I recall..

Turns out "et" is (or was) the correct British pronunciation of "ate" in the early 1900's.
