Edit not working

I can't edit, which is almost distressing because:

I love my edits, me.
I correct my spelling mistakes, add new comments when no-one else has posted after me, and even quote subsequent posters just to remind everyone that time is in fact, an abstract concept.

But it's not working. Is it just me?

No, it's everyone.

I wanted to amend my last entry on Polish Word Assoc.

I wanted to put the the in brackets (nothing to do with an '80s pop group)
I also, more importantly, wanted to award myself with a star, partly for knowing the words without using a book, but mostly for not using the nominative case.

Yes, it's a bit of a pest but will be resolved shortly no doubt :)

So I can edit now?
Yes I can. Fantastic.

yes.

woul somebody help?
what does EDIT means when written in a post?
thanks for help
i know this is probably in the wrong thread, sorry for that, bit confusing

It means that a poster has edited their post.

ok, thank you for that

Most welcome.

You can tell if someone has edited their post because by the date and time will appear "Edited by: (usually posters name)"

Sometimes posters like to add in "EDIT" so that people know where their post was edited.

ok, it was this EDIT inserted in an acctual message i was concerned about, i thought it was some expression, now i know, you've been helpfull, thanks
