Not every child is as ignorant and uninterested in the world around them as you're implying. At the very least, most children who don't know/care what a crumpet is are willing to accept that it's obviously some kind of food that British kids eat and move on. Your intense dislike of things you don't understand is not something that children, universally known for asking questions and being curious, are generally afflicted with.

Despite all the people making fun of you in this thread, the level of xenophobia you're demonstrating really isn't funny and is probably already negatively impacting your life on some level. You should consider counselling, if you're not already receiving it, to help you come to grips with it.

1. There are at least two different anons in this thread who prefer the US editions. 2. As the anon who started this apparent "controversy" climb the fuck off your high horse and read through these threads again. I never said I couldn't or wouldn't have figured it out orjust moved on.

I said the guesswork and asking questions wouldn't have been fucking fun for me. And you're going to turn that around and make me some sort of xenophobic aasshole who needs counseling? Fuck you.

I wasn't a good reader. I didn't have a happy childhood (and yes I see a therapist and donvt need your concern troll armchair psychology).

US Potter was my escape because it was easy and I understood it anI related to it. I would have hated being 10 and trying to read the UK versions but that's doesn't mean I hate or am afraid of anything that isn't American, and it doesn't make me a bad person.

Its very sad that trousers and colours would have made you hate Harry Potter. I'm glad you didn't have to suffer that travesty.

Actually that was my first comment on this thread, but nice try psychoanalyzing me.

As a child, I read a great many British authors, so those words wouldn't have been unfamiliar to me. The ones I didn't know, I would have genuinely enjoyed figuring out. I was also not a normal child. As an English teacher, I know that some kids get excited about new words. Those kids are not the majority. The majority get frustrated when confronted with what they consider unnecessary vocabulary. ie- "So a jumper is a sweater? Why don't they just call it a sweater then!"

I believe you missed my point. The publishing company made those changes because they wanted the books to be easy accessible to a wide audience. Since the books sold eleventy billion copies, it's hard to argue with that decision.

Also, you seem very angry.
