I noticed that Moher was misspelled twice in a post, which could make searches a nuisance, so I attempted to correct the two instances, however, I received this message:

Oops! Your edit couldn't be submitted because:

Edits must be at least 6 characters; is there something else to improve in this post?

The post is fine, any other changes would be tampering for the sake of it.

Place names are particularly important in a Travel forum, I reckon, so it should be possible to make such changes.

    You always can comment the post to point out the error.

    Sure, so when you come to search for that place, will it come up? I do not think so.

I don't think we need to allow small suggested edits. Users with high rep can edit posts as they want, and you always have three things available to do:

  1. Flag post to the moderate attention with spell error explanation.
  2. Comment out the post to post owner or some user with high rep edit the post.
  3. Mostly preferred - make great suggested edit! See what can you add to the post. For this exactly post you can simply add a link to the Cliffs of Moher](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliffs_of_Moher), and your edit will be accepted.
  4. Earn more reputation to be available to edit other people's posts.

    We don’t run Stack Overflow. The community does.
