etc. (et cetera)

[Ducklet Cat]

etc. (et cetera) is pronounced "it setera" as you all know.
But I've run into a couple of people who pronounce it "ik setera"!
I'm I'm sure that they pronounced it with a "k".

I've looked for the pronunciation in several dictionaries and could not find any that list "ik setera" as a pronunciations.

Any input on that?

Thanks.

Well, I looked up my online dictionary and turns out the phonetics transcription is /ɛt ˈsɛtərə/ instead of /it setera/ or whatever pronunciation.

Merriam Webster does, though it's a dialectal pronunciation

Yes, I was not transcribing the voewls right, my concentration was on the t/k thing.

Thanks.

Great, thanks :)
Should I deduce it is an American pronunciation since it has been listed in Merriam and Webster?

Perhaps, but it's a regional/dialectal things, along the lines of "aks" (for "ask") or "nucular" (for "nuclear").

According to John Wells in the LPD, /k/ is generally considered to be incorrect.

Not just Am E. It's a common feature of some Br English as well - but it's a mistake (and is regarded with ridicule in some quarters). Don't use it.
