Stet

STET

-verb (used without object)

1. let it stand (used imperatively as a direction on a printer's proof, manuscript, or the like, to retain material previously cancelled)

-verb (used with object)

2. to mark (a manuscript, printer's proof, etc.) with the word “stet” or with dots as a direction to let cancelled material remain.

This was never intended,

A mere incident at the binder.

But the author was adamant,

Imperious “Stet! Stet! Stet!””

Scribbled all over the margins.
