Giving a talk and providing proper scholarship. If there are 20 authors there is no way im going to speak every single name.

Professors in my program (Clinical Psych) use it during lectures and presentations almost daily.

As for pronunciation, they nearly unanimously say it as, "et all"

Lawyers. It's an abbreviation for a case with many parties. http://www.amazon.com/United-S...-Bush-al/dp/1583227563
