Editorial marking is a system of symbols used by editors to indicate changes to be made in a text. The two most common symbols are STET and DELE. STET is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase 'stetit, ' meaning 'let it stand, ' and is used to indicate that no change should be made to the text. DELE is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase 'deleatur, ' meaning 'let it be deleted, ' and is used to indicate that a section of text should be removed. Together, these symbols provide editors with a way to quickly and easily communicate their desired changes to a text.
