eta - numbering went totally strange, so enclosed each in "
I've seen eta used a lot, like you did. For me, it always meant "estimated time (of) arrival". What does it mean in your context?
New to me as well but seems like "editing to add:"
Why not just write "edit:"? It's one extra character
I learned to touch type on underwood typewriters, learned cobol, basic, pl/1, fortran (watfor/wat5!), and fed a thousand punch cards to a mainframe or something to print 2 words.
Reddit made me do "eta".
Sometimes you're editing for grammar or clarification or just to add.
Thanks. It must show my age, that i sometimes don't think about the obvious googling for anything.
the only times I do the due diligence and online research I should are when I'm trying to win an online argument, so I can relate. Got lucky with a guess this time :)
