um..... !!!!!!!!!!!!!. I never wrote that! I did attempt to write a post here, but i never wrote that, and i never even looked up Citrullus on Wikipedia until just now, when i saw that link under my name (which i never wrote). Dose anyone know what might have happened to my post? I'm thinking perhaps an administrator tried to responded to my forum post, but mistakenly changed what i wrote??

anyways I'm just really confused and would love to know what might have happened so i know I'm not going crazy. lol.

Strange, I'm French and I've never heard of melons d'eau.
Anyway, I call these fruits akvomelonoj in Esperanto too.

On wikipedia it's akvomelono.

Hi

I have no idea what happened, but it might be that an administrator accidentally edited when they meant to reply. I haven't seen this before. What did your original message say?

I thought that probably was what happened, i can't really remember what i wrote, it was something to do with wondering if citrolo was the name of the "melon family" in esperanto, and if so, why not call it akvocitrolo, instead of akvomelono. But then i looked melon up in the vortaro, dictionary and saw melono as a word by itself. so I'm just wondering if citrolo and melono are both words to describe the melon plant family or weither they have different meanings.

SuperMarc92:Here, in Quebec, we say "melon d'eau", which means watermelon. And we speak french.

In France we can also say « melon d'eau » (literally « melono de akvo ») or we can use the word « pastèque ». The original poster probably did not speak French natively, since he wrote *mélon* with an acute accent which is incorrect.

En Francio, ni ankaŭ povas diri "melon d'eau" (laŭvorte: melono de akvo) aŭ ni povas uzi la vorton "pastèque". La originala afiŝanto plej verŝajne ne parolis la francan denaske, ĉar li skribis *mélon* kun akuta akcento, kiu neĝustas.

I have ALMOST done that once or twice, but always caught myself. So I know it's possible.

Happily, if that's what happened here, at least I can say it wasn't me!

Oh, what I’ve to read here?
Only now I’ve realized my great silly mistake!
I only can say to you, Senlando, thousands of sorries…
Surely I mistaked “Reply” for “Edit”.

In future I’ll look sharper!

Because [edit] and [reply] are right next to each other, it's an easy mistake to make. My guess is that removing the ability of the more limited administrators (such as myself) to edit ALL posts would involve quite a bit of more complicated security coding than the Lernu developers probably want to get into currently.

But one idea might be to simply change the color of the [edit] link to red, to make it stand out a bit more (and also to indicate that that link is a bit more dangerous than [reply]). That strikes me as something that should be relatively easy to implement.

Haha, it's quite alright, I can see how that could easily have happen. I was mostly just surprise to see my picture and name saying something i had no memory of saying, gets me thinking I might be losing my mind! lol.
