Most frequently these are on the full listings of upcoming matches - digits transposed in career high rankings, missing letters in surnames, incorrect demarcation of the stage of the draw etcetera.

No, I don't think so. As far as I'm aware, Spanish uses the Latin expression as we do (or some of us do) in English, it being taken from a Catholic prayer of confession & thus a natural "import". As its literal meaning is "through my fault", it translates into Spanish as "por mi culpa".

There was actually a Spanish film called Culpa Mia, which translated back to My Fault for the American version

Not that I knew that but just saying to add to this debate!

Jeff, I believe the original correct expression is et cetera. I believe etcetera is an alternative lazy spelling
