What is Stet?
1.
v.intr. To direct that a word or statement be allowed to stand in its original, unrevised form. To let something stand in its original form.
v.tr. To overrule a "correction"
(From Latin, to et it stand, third person singular present subjunctive of stare; typesetters' / copy editors abbreviation to "uncorrect" a revision made in error. As typesetting becomes obsolete, alas, so probably will this powerful little word.)
