What does ETA mean?

[Hippychickali]

I've seen ETA in a lot of posts. I know that it used to mean Estimated Time of Arrival but I don't think that's how it's being used anymore. Can someone please help me to get in the know?

I think it can also stand for:

"edited to add"

I was wondering that too!

Thanks everyone! Very helpful. I can start using that instead of my usual **UPDATE**.

What does ITA mean then?

I totally agree

But in ambulance parlance, it means "estimated time of arrival" -- as in "ER".

OK, here's one that stumped me:

What does MTA mean?

Then theres this one:

""a3]2[d,5/z01=1\bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb"

This means "My cat just lay down on my keyboard."

I've never heard of MTA? Could it mean Many Thanks All?

Are you sure you're not thinking of MTE (My Thoughts Exactly)?
