Well there you go. You learn something new every day. I've only ever seen it as Et al.
Maybe I should take a course in latin. Not sure where else I'd use the knowledge besides here though.

Here is a pretty good arena for it. There are Latin-tagline pages on the Net, and likewise listings of Latin legalese. The tagline pages are great fun.
I said et and I meant et. ...No, I don't think I'll talk about the ampersand's connection to et.
