And to add another pedantic log to the fire... :) Quoted from dictionary.com because it's easier than looking it up in a real text: ------------------- et al
adv 1: used as an abbreviation of `et alii' (masc. plural) or `et aliae' (fem. plural) or `et alia' (neut. plural) when referring to a number of people [syn: et al., and others] 2: used as an abbreviation of `et alibi' when referring to other occurrences in a text [syn: et al., and elsewhere] -------------------- I think the second one fits. I always fidget about the missing period personally, but I'm working through those issues. ;) -Paul Micael wrote: > > Sigh!
