  I find it sad that I can’t edit or delete a comment on someone else’s blog. It is a WordPress weakness as we all make mistakes when typing and sometimes hit the wrong key.

  What’s stopping you from submitting another comment asking asking the blogger to edit it for you? I’m visually challenged and that’s what I do.

  I don’t see why WordPress can’t just write some code to allow the writer of the comment or a reply to edit or delete the comment or reply on someone’s blog like other sites do.

  If you want to suggest that you can. Here’s the link for the Ideas Forum https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/ideas but I advise you not to hold your breath while waiting.
