Maybe write "edit" and not a senseless abbreviation, so everyone can understand.
How about that?

Well friend, your inability to understand isn't my problem.

It actually is your problem when people don't understand what you're saying, ETA is typically estimated time of arrival; I've been terminally online for 25+ years now and have never seen the abbreviation ETA used for anything else.

It's actually not my problem, why would I care if someone doesn't understand it? How would that affect my life in any way? Most people understand it.

Other comments have also said it's been around for over a decade. Remember, just because you haven't seen something, does not mean it doesn't exist.

It actually is your problem if people don't understand what you're saying. Language is a common framework, when you refuse to use that framework for whatever bizarre reason; that's on you not us.

In the real world maybe, not in a comment section. Lol. Remember, not everyone is chronically online and comment sections and online interactions don't matter. If you struggle to understand something, then that's your problem. No one else's. Especially when others understand the meaning.
