I would have loved to have been able to correct the spelling, but, alas, there is not an “edit” option for correcting titles. Good catch on your part.

Sandy,

Check the advanced edit feature. It appears the edit or advanced edit features are only available for a short time though. I had a typo in one of my post titles and could change it using "advanced". Hope that helps. Rhonda K

Well, I am a retired English teacher(38 years) and it really bothers me when people misspell words or mispronounces words. It seems that they are too lazy to care and assume that the reader will correct.

I figured it out! Selvedge is correct as is selvage. If you put the d in, it has to spell the word "edge". With no "d", you use age.
