What's the difference between "edition" and "version"?
If a song was sung by many people, I should say "The song has many different versions" or "The song has many different editions"?
EDITION another copy of an original. (a paperback edition, first edition) It can also mean to preform at an EDITION.
Now VERSION means something different in certain respects from an earlier form. e.g If you have an English Version song or movie, sometimes they make another VERSION in another language or in a different rating. eg. UN-CUT VERSION or SHORT VERSION...ETC
