Re: Stupid questions from non-natives (Part Two)

[(Anonymous)]

1) Personally, I wear shoes indoors because I have broken too many toes to risk going barefoot. I've broken both of my little toes twice each walking into doorways or heavy furniture and I broke a middle toe slipping on the stairs. I was barefoot or in socks each time. Now I always wear something with a semi-stiff sole at home - sandals in the summer and ugg boots in the winter - to protect my toes. I would remove my shoes when entering another person's house if they asked, though.

As someone above mentioned, if you live someplace where it is really cold, even with the heat on you still may get really cold feet and will at least need socks or slippers to be comfortable. Where I live, it's actually more likely that you will remove your footwear when entering a house in the winter than in summer - despite that footwear being harder to remove - because you will be wearing big, heavy boots that can track in a lot of slush and dirt. The balance tips away from "making yourself too casually at home is impolite" and towards "tracking in muddy water is impolite."

4) Sometimes the UK cover *is* the original cover. :P It's likely that publishing/distribution rights to a text do not always come with rights to the original cover art/design, so the UK publisher/distributor has to have a new cover made (this may even be cheaper than negotiating rights to the original). There's also the matter of marketing and taking into consideration how you want to try to sell the book and what cultural differences mean to how appealing people will find a particular cover.
