I know because I made a very egregious mistake once with a word and a poster PM me and I contacted Admin for a correction. It was shortly after that incident that members were given the opportunity to edit their posts.
I was very grateful to that poster for his discretion with my situation and his
taking the time and greatly appreciated Admin's actions with providing an editing key. I do wish we had one on Political Talk.
Personal Best Regards:

Yes, the edit key would be nice. I do not PM posters about content of posts.
Regarding the cow towing vs. kowtow, I doubt if the poster did know the difference in spellings. IF that poster would write a university president and used that phrase "cow towing", the university president would know what he meant but would also think the letter writer was quite ignorant, wouldn't he?
