“Fine as is, actually”

STET

Think of what an editor might write in the margin to indicate a previously marked change should be ignored and the original text kept.

The phrase "Fine as is, actually" hints at the word "STET," a proofreading term meaning "let it stand" or "leave it unchanged." Editors use it to indicate that a marked change should be ignored, keeping the original text. The clue plays on the idea of something being acceptable in its current form, which aligns perfectly with the definition of "STET." It’s a direct nod to publishing lingo without any hidden wordplay.
