I looked up my edits, and I found out that I had 275 edits. However, the Strunk and White Badge says 80 posts edited will get the badge. Is there some kind of a catch, or did I misunderstood the badge? What about the Copy Editor's badge. Some guys had 800 edits, and they still don't have that badge. Why is this so?

Let me see how giant a quote I can get away with...
List of all badges with full descriptions:
Strunk & White
- silver; awarded once; same family as Copy Editor (gold)
- Related to Editor (bronze)
- Perform a total of 80 edits between questions and answers
- Edits on deleted posts do not count
- Edits to your own posts do not count
- Edits to CW posts do count
- Edits that consist only of tag changes do not count
- Tag wiki edits do count
- Edits you suggest before gaining full edit privileges do count, once approved
- Sources: What kind of edits contribute to the editor badges?, Tag wiki badge suggestions, How will Editor, Strunk & White and Copy Editor be affected by the new <2k edit mechanism?

Both the badge descriptions make a reference to the number of edited posts, not the number of edits; this means that multiple edits for the same question (or answer) do not count.
I also think that only the edits made on the other users' posts are considered.
