Edited an article "FOR" content
The original context goes as below:
"This is a post written by my little brother. While we edited for content, we cannot be held responsible for the idiocy that may ensue."
I don't understand why there's a "for" after a transitive verb?
By the way,
why am I unable to edit the font of the texts I'm typing here?
Wasn't that an available feature before?

GCheng620 - yes, I agree that your alternative version would be OK. But may I correct a spelling error in your post? 'not quiet sure' should be 'not quite sure'.
