The abbreviated form of "et cetera" is etc.
Most people probably put "ect" because they pronounce it wrong and say "ec" instead of "et".

no the person below me is wrong
if it was spelled ect, it would NOT make sense:
etc is an abbreviation for eTCetera
et-cet-er-a is how you pronounce itt
hope that cleared it up
