n.
?ed is the standard text editor.? Line taken from the original Unix
manual page on ed, an ancient line-oriented editor that is by now used only
by a few Real Programmers, and even then only for batch operations. The
original line is sometimes uttered near the beginning of an emacs vs. vi
holy war on Usenet, with the (vain) hope to quench the discussion before
it really takes off. Often followed by a standard text describing the many
virtues of ed (such as the small memory footprint on a Timex Sinclair,
and the consistent (because nearly non-existent) user interface).
The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):
ed
(editor) Unix's line editor. Ed is rarely
used by humans since even vi is better.

Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary:
Ed
witness, a word not found in the original Hebrew, nor in the
LXX. and Vulgate, but added by the translators in the Authorized
Version, also in the Revised Version, of Josh. 22:34. The words
are literally rendered: "And the children of Reuben and the
children of Gad named the altar. It is a witness between us that
Jehovah is God." This great altar stood probably on the east
side of the Jordan, in the land of Gilead, "over against the
land of Canaan." After the division of the Promised Land, the
tribes of Reuben and Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, on
returning to their own settlements on the east of Jordan (Josh.
22:1-6), erected a great altar, which they affirmed, in answer
to the challenge of the other tribes, was not for sacrifice, but
only as a witness ('Ed) or testimony to future generations that
they still retained the same interest in the nation as the other
tribes.
