ETA = Edit to add
Just trying to explain why my comment changed, in case anyone saw it before that LOL.
ETA? Estimated Time of Arrival?
One of us doesn’t know what that stands for. I feel like the time my grandpa died, and mom sent me an email telling me “We’re going to the funeral this Friday to pay respects to grandpa. LOL!”
I was quite confused. Turns out she grew up with “Lots Of Love”. For a second she seemed like she turned into an absolute psychopath, for like…no reason.

In this context, it means “Edited To Add”. I do wish they abbreviated it some other way, since “Estimated Time of Arrival” is a much more common meaning. I would accept “E2A” or something stupid, as long as it was more unique. Alternatively, they could just use “Edit:”.

This is my first time reading about this alternate “ETA” initialism. Interesting…

ETA: Mine, too.
(ETA in this context means “Entering Text As:”)

What an Enternaining Twist of an Acronym.
