Why do some reply have "edit"?

[elizabeth]

Anyone care to tell me or share with me why do some reply have edit at the top right corner?

Does it mean that anyone can just edit it?

It means it's your reply and YOU can edit it

You can edit your own posts only.

That device was invented for people like V/Q who need correcting their typos (but he never uses it!)

Ok. Thank you. How come some have and some don't have?

Unless it's me or SE. Then all of the posts have the Edit button.

It's the same with the little message after you edit your post "edited by on such and such a time". You only get this message if you edit your post after someone has posted after your original post. This alerts everyone to the fact that subsequent replies may no longer make any sense because the OP decided to change their minds and pull there head back inside their shell.

In that case it's even worse than what I thought!

He means Moderators can edit any post.

The only ones that have are YOUR posts - therefore YOU can edit them
