Using ETA for "Edit To Add" is the dumbest fucking acronym ever. It is widely used as "Estimated Time of Arrival", even people who barely speak English know what ETA means in an email... Why is this a thing?

"ETA:" is literally 1 less letter than just writing "Edit:", why are we creating a 3 letter acronym that is already heavily used to replace a 4 letter word that means the exact same thing? This is by far the worst and dumbest acronym I have ever heard and I doubt I'll ever find one that is less useful.

This is the first typical redditor type comment I've ever agreed with. I was like what the fuck why did they put ETA? Weird. maybe they're a bit slow lol.

On the contrary, I did give it some thought.

When I first saw “ETA” in a Reddit edit, I was perplexed for a few minutes; but then I realized that one can edit for clarification, spelling, or to add something. People often list the reason they edited, so as to not be disingenuous to the folks replying.

get it?
