Stet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Stet (disambiguation).
Stet is a Latin word (meaning "let it stand") used by proofreaders and editors to instruct the typesetter or writer to disregard a change the editor or proofreader had previously marked.[1]
This convention is usually marked by writing and circling the word stet above or beside the unwanted edit and underscoring the selection with dashes or dots.[1] Alternatively, a circled tick (check mark) may be used in the margin.[2]
In connection with this usage, stet is also sometimes used as a verb, e.g., "Stet that colon."[1]
