Punctuating "etc." after a series of questions
How should I terminally punctuate etc. when it's used at the end of a series of questions?
How's your brother? Did you get the job? Are you feeling better? Etc.?
Is this right, or do I use a period?
How's your brother? Did you get the job? Are you feeling better? Etc.
Solution 1:
Each question is a separate sentence. The Etc. also forms its own sentence, but isn't a question in itself, so I would go for the second one:
How's your brother? Did you get the job? Are you feeling better? Etc.
A better option may be to rewrite to avoid the etc. altogether.
This answer is with British English. It may be the same with American English.
Solution 2:
"Etc." isn't a question. Here, it indicates "and other similar questions." Thus, no question mark is needed.
