stet
Ignore my correction
Stet is an editing instruction meaning "let it stand"—ignore the correction and keep the original text.
Editors write stet in the margin and underline the relevant passage with dots to reverse a proposed change: I crossed out that sentence, but on reflection, stet.
From Latin for "let it stand."
