I can help for the modifications too. 

Not being a native English speaker, I can't really help in choosing the term...
'Edit' seems to flow more easily in my ears, but it's probably because in
French it's 'Modifier' so Modify just seems like a copy of the French word ;)
Or maybe one is American English and the other UK English, and I'm more used to
American English...

Some references that I found, but nothing is conclusive... I think we just have
to choose one and stick with it.
