Off topic, but I’ve been seeing a lot of people use ETA as of late in places it doesn’t make sense. I’ve always known it as an acronym for “Estimated Time of Arrival”.

Does it have some new meaning that I’ve missed out on?

I think it means “Edit(ed) to add” in this case

  That’s a bizzare acronym to me. I just say “Edit:”. Sign of the times, I’ve outgrown the younger generation’s new way of talking to each other.

    No, it’s incredibly stupid. “edit” is 4 letters, ETA is 3 and conflicts with another, more common acronym.
