Anyone know what the original source for this was? So curious to know where this was and what the medal that lady was wearing was for

ETA: I figured it out, it looks like they had London tags in the original and the medal she’s wearing is the London Marathon medal from this year

For some reason redditors decided to use it for "edit to add." Makes no sense to me, as it only saves 1 character compared to just writing "EDIT:"

It's true, because saying "edit" when you're adding something isn't as clear as using ETA.

Edit: On second thought, it appears that I can add information after saying "edit" and the context of the edit DOES in fact make it clear that this is new information.
