I recently edited this question and made some minor spelling corrections and tidying. However, the end of the question had this:

Im thinking it would be a minuscule % but Im not sure. It could be a lot or a little but the idea is still sexy to me. Thank you guys.

Now, aside from giving me a good chuckle*, I was unsure of what to do. Even though it clearly doesn't add anything to the question, I felt it would go against retaining the original author's intent. I guess there's also a slight chance of being considered offensive.

What is the recommended practice for moderating this and similarly informal phrasing?

*The irony of using this colloquialism isn't lost on me!

Personally, I would leave this alone. It's part of the user's manner of speech, and it expresses that they are asking the question out of curiosity.

Thank you guys.

We typically edit this type of stuff out, as it doesn't really add to the question.
