Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn’t translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.
Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.
Ok - I wasn’t arguing semantics, but you sure are. :)
I mostly agree with your perspective on the broader, philosophical aspects of edits. However, our discussion is specifically about the practical use of ‘ETA’ in online contexts, not the semantics of editing. Introducing a philosophical angle, while interesting, is not particularly useful here.
