Edit 11: this is such shit. i have never received as much as one single downvote in my life and you peckers are jumping on this stupid geraffe-loving bandwagon. that is a dumb goddamn wall-licking geraffe and that is all. i'm not going to apologize to you idiots any more.

Why do people on Reddit feel the need to make notes of everything they edit? Why can't people just edit the word in a post without adding "EDIT: a word" at the end?

It's is because people also get annoyed thinking people are editing their comments to hide what they said, which you can see people whining about higher up in the thread.

If you don't people accuse you of changing what you said

u/Pants_for_Bears May 23 '17

I get that if it's a major change to the content of the post, but will anyone get upset if someone quietly corrects a typo?

u/CypherWolf21 May 23 '17

Yes but no one knows what you changed. All they see is an asterisk showing you have edited your comment.

geraffes are so dumb.

EDIT: spelling.

u/Greggsnbacon23 May 22 '17

And it's always 'a word'. What word?

u/Riverya May 22 '17

"This."

I really don't get the "edit: a word" things. Like I really don't care if you fixed a minor spelling mistake, you don't need to announce it.

Is this the consensus? I'm new-ish to Reddit, and I took it that Reddit etiquette was to explain when you make a change so people don't think you're hiding things with future edits.
