Title:
Retitle button & window on Edit Reply screen

Area:
Editing Comment Replies

Summary:
"Edit comment" is ambiguous, replace with "Save edits"
Change window title from "Reply" to "Edit Comments"

Description:
I trip over this issue every time I use the edit entry feature, and triple-guess myself—this may be unique to my memory issues, but it might also help others.

When I choose "Edit" under a reply I've submitted, 2 items are ambiguous.

#1. The window title is now "Reply." Change to "Edit Comment."

#2. The save my work button is "Edit Comment." These words *can mean* "click this button to start editing the comment," although its current action is "submit & display my edits." I suggestion this button read "Save edits" or "Update reply"

These suggestions follow the pattern used in "Edit entry." The action link is labelled "Edit Entry," the window is titled "Edit Entries," and the "save my work" button is labelled "Save." I'm hoping to minimize confusion and increase consistency.

For #2, I'm a fan of "save edits" as the new button text, or maybe "save comment".

This trips me up too, despite the fact that I'm LOOKING AT THE EDIT SCREEN.
