what is the difference between being told not to call palming, et al and to call something one way or another?

As Mr. Annoying Grammar Guy, I usually limit my comments to the English language. But don't you mean to use "inter alia" here? I always thought that "et al" ("and others") refered to people. Any Latin geeks here?

et cetera ("etc.") would be the preferred use.
But, switching back to Mr. English Grammar Person, "etc." should not be used. If the missing item(s) is/are important enough to warrant an "etc.", it/they are important enough to be listed.
