An editorial mark is a symbol used by editors to indicate changes that need to be made to a text. Two common editorial marks are STET and DELE. STET is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase 'stetit, ' which means 'let it stand.' This mark indicates that no changes should be made to the text. DELE is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase 'deleatur, ' which means 'let it be deleted.' This mark indicates that the text should be removed.
