Ethical dilemmas for editing a bad grammar and poor word choice quote

            Some of the ethical dilemmas for editing a quote that has poor word choice and bad grammar are you can't change the words to make them sound a bit more educated.  Though you may want to change some of the words to make a person sound better you can't because then it wouldn't be a quote. Another dilemma is that they could have just been nervous and not acting themselves when you interviewed so to maybe undo it is see if you can real quick reinterview them or just not use that quote as a quote just add some of their facts into the article an example of this could be: Several neighbors reported that..., you get the point. That is what I believe are some of the ethical dilemmas with this as well as some ways to fix them
