Edited To Add

u/DownrightDrewski Apr 24 '26

Someone had downvoted every comment correctly saying edited to add. I'm guessing it's because they're thinking about estimated time of arrival, but, in context that makes no fucking sense.

Yep. Someone tried to correct me on this and I stated on Reddit it means edit to add. They wouldn't back down. Lol

Since when? I've been on Reddit for years and this is the first I'm seeing it. What happened to just writing "edit"? Its literally one extra letter and isn't trying to replace a commonly used acronym.

I’ve also been on Reddit for years and have seen it a ton.

I see it all the time.

But why? Do we really need the acronym to avoid typing a 4th letter?

It’s been this way forever. It’s just how Reddit works.

Don't ask me. I didn't come up with it. I normally type out an entire "edited to add" when I have to.
