Hear hear! And by all means have a go at us daft 'murricans.
Translating JKR's English into murrican makes about as much sense as
dubbing Monty Python or Chef. Jeesh.
But hark! What books through yonder mailbox break! My copies of the
HP series from Canada have arrived, and there's a surprise! Instead
of sending me the Raincoast edition of GOF, they sent me the
Bloomsbury edition; and it even says "First Edition" on the copyright
page. Did somebody in the stockroom make a booboo? I ain't
complainin'!
