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

    ETA: It means “edit to add”

      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.

          More like where did women learn such weird habits when they quarantined themselves on the internet before getting brave enough to go elsewhere?

          It’s Tumblr right? Either that or they’re non English speaking and ETA isn’t used in other languages due to being an acronym.

        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␣␣
    where a line break should take place.

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