"They hired an Americanizer to read the pre-galleys ('manuscripts' doesn't
sound right) and mark down the changes. She was interviewed on NPR..."

Thanks for that info, Catlady, and excuse my ignorance, but what's NPR?

I'm intrigued by the idea of one person making such decisions, especially
if she missed the meaning of 'humbug'. I suppose, the Americanisation
is not that different to any other sort of translation, it just seems
more irritating!
