[HPFGU-OTChatter] Fwd: [HPforGrownups] Re: Audio Versions of the Books

[Sherry Gomes]

Dina,

Yes, I also was influenced by UK writers, but regardless of whether or
not American children are 'easily confused', what bugs me at times is
the impression given by some that the US versions are somehow...
inferior or the alterations are *severly* distracting, which is
possible to other countries but not necessarily to the audience which
the version is being marketed.  In other words, I find the negativity
towards the US versions does get... tiring.

Sherry now
I agree with you on that one.  Every once in a while, someone makes a
comment that seems to imply the US version is inferior, and that irritates
me.  After all, it is the same book, just with a few words modified.  It
doesn't detract from the story in any way.
