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

ETA: It means "edit to add"

[-] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago

yeah that's why it gets the dumbass poohbear.

[-] HN82@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Edit to add, I guess

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months 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.

Internet Rule #30: There are no women on the internet.

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.

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

Sophisticated bear could also be PS imo

[-] Lemjukes@lemm.ee -1 points 10 months ago

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

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months 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.
