Can't fix a typo in a question?
I fixed the typo. The limit is deemed necessary by the powers that be. There is plenty of discussion about it on m.se and even some here on m.sf. I don't believe the limit is likely to change.

Should <2k rep users avoid making small-character edits?
I agree that this edit was fine. Further I disagree with the reviewer using "Reject and edit", as if to say you hadn't done anything useful, whereas his edit had pretty much exactly the same end ...

At what level should we reject edits?

Edits shouldn't require a minimum number of characters changed
There is nothing that anyone here on ServerFault can do about this*. The 6-character minimum is part of the software used across all SE sites and is unlikely to be changed.

Why are users limited to X-number of edits?

Should answers offering risky suggestions be edited to warn about the dangers?

Should <2k rep users avoid making small-character edits?
