Stet is an old term from the printing industry.
I first learned to use it when correcting printer's proofs in the public
service.
See the AGPS Style Guide, or whatever it is called these days, for correct
usage
from Macquarie dictionary
1. let it stand (a direction on a printer's proof, a manuscript, or the
like to retain cancelled matter, usually accompanied by a row of dots
under or beside the matter).
--verb (t) 2. to mark with the word `stet' or with dots.
[Latin: let it stand]
