SC - What's a "redaction?"

The solution seems to be consistently using the word you find to be more 
correct, and educating those that ask why.  Feastocrat is slowly fading, 
though there are those who disagree that "cook" is a suitable replacement.  
"Eric" is almost entirely unknown in the part of Atlantia I reside in.

In replacing "redaction" with "interpretation," "reconstruction," or 
"adaptation," you'll have to live with people misinterpreting you based on 
the jargonish meanings of those words.  "Reconstruction" implies to me 
something so exacting that only a professor with funding and graduate 
students to assist could manage.  Interpreting and adapting what is 
sometimes too freely done by those who feel the need to drastically alter 
the recipe for whatever reason.  Not able to do the one, and trying not to 
go as far as the other, I took the word "redact" to mean a middle road.  I 
must admit, I never stopped to look it up, and I managed never to see Ras' 
complaint about it.
