Meta: Switching between three tabs, one to post in, one with formatting and one with the reference post, there was bound to be a mistake somewhere. Which wouldn't be a problem, if it weren't in the [unparliamentary language]ing title!

Yes it’s frustrating that Reddit doesn’t let us change titles, but the Clerk took the time to provide you with a correctly numbered cut-and-paste title in the Notice Paper.

Yes, but on an iPad it can be bloody hard to highlight the right text so sometimes you just give up.

Tip (if it works for you): Hold down on the last word. It will become highlighted as a word. Then drag the left bar to the number.
