Ditto is another one of those words that I love the sound
of. It reminds me of the sound of drum cadences – ditto, ditto, ditto,ditto,
ditto…. The main character in the movie “Ghost” (Sam Wheat) used it throughout the film in
response to his girlfriend’s declarations of love. Ditto is a great word. It
means: the same as stated before, a thing mentioned previously, or a
duplicate/copy. It is used to avoid repeating a word of phrase and is
represented in writing by the double quote (“) mark.

·
