    I've been around for a while now but I keep coming across "eta" in the threads. At work I use it as an acronym for "estimated time of arrival" and it doesn't quite apply here. What does it stand for in the online community? I googled it and came up with a terrorist organization and estimated time of arrival.

    Whaaa? Use that in a sentence, plz! I always thought it was estimated time of arrival, and haven't ever noticed it in any other context. :p

    @scissors: people will post something and then like 5 minutes go back to their post and add something new. It usually goes something like:

    blah blah blah blah blah. I love dogs and they think they are fabulous. blah blah blah

    eta: FI just brought home a new dog!

    @Scissors-Example

    If I got on and saw Myra posted and replied, but when it posted saw you had replied too, I could edit to add in a reply to you or something I forgot.

    ETA: like I just edited my post because I spelled something wrong!
