I'm new, so i'mI'm not 100% sure this is the right place to ask this. But i'mI'm pretty sure.... >_>

I've come across a few posts (on photo and security SE sites) that have poor grammar/spelling/phrasing of questions. I usually put it down to English being a second language rather than laziness, but i'mI'm frequently tempted to edit the posts to correct things. Is there a general rule around this? I trialedtrialled an edit earlier today, and it seemed to be fine with the moderators. Obviously it wouldn't be reasonable to re-format the entire question, but some just to clear things up from time to time. I assume it would have to be within reason, i'mI'm just wondering what the community 'thoughts' are around it.
