Right. It is not originally programmer jargon, but something teachers use when marking essays. It also isn't meant to be applied throughout a text, only on one instance of that word, which would be on the same line as the correction.
Assuming s is short for substitute, it would make more sense for it to be s/new/original. It's kind of annoying how people say "substitute x for y" when they mean "replace x with y".
