    ....but that doesn't make sense! Comedy and horror aren't completely different. They're both genres (like drama, thriller, musical etc).

    Also: I just noticed that you misspelled 'etc'. It's an abreviation of 'Et cetera', which is the Latin for 'And so on'. When pronounced, the abbreviation should be pronounced as the full wording. You should never say E.T.C out loud, any more than you would say M.R. for Mister.

    I know, I was trying to think of a good example. Like when you name two bands, but their completely different styles, then you say etc and the reader doesn't know what you mean.
