And we still can't edit tweets

For the obvious reason if somebody tweeting something. Then someone retweets it. Then somebody changes the original tweet to something inappropriate

You could just mark it as edited, no? Upon clicking it will show you the original message, it's not really that hard.

Yeah, no people are not so smart to spot that either. It might be an inconvenience for those who are in the right but the wrong can abuse it to its maximum extent. If you have an itch, just delete and start over. Maybe they can make that process simpler (del + edit)

Editing works fine on FB. I say only allow edits for first few minutes of tweeting. We only need it for editing typos etc

Putting a limit on # of chars can also work... Under one minute and max 5 chars... Should do.

Maybe but there might actually be legit typos (I do that all the time on the KB when I'm doing one-handed typing). I still think the best way is not to allow edits because it is Twitter and things spread like wildfire in just under a minute.

they could just not change the retweet. if the original is edited then only that is changed
