What does ETA even stand for in the context of edited comments?

ETA: It means "edit to add"

[–] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

yeah that's why it gets the dumbass poohbear.

[–] HN82@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Edit to add, I guess

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

It's supposed to be 'edited to add'.

Yes, it's beyond dumb and I've only seen new people or women weirdly enough use it.

I've always wondered if it was a Tumblr thing.

Thank you! "Edited to add" is dumb AF.

I’d argue N.B.: would be more appropriate

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

That has a different meaning, though. It's Latin "Nota Bene", which means "note well", and it's used to draw attention to something.

Never seen ETA being used that way before. Thank goodness.

End a line with double space␣␣

I think I've seen E2A to avoid the confusion but I'm not sure how much that helps.
