Yes, I can cope with USA vs UK spelling and punctuation. Other changes are crazy.
Also they delight in changing the UK title for USA market, but rarely vice versa.
Sometimes change the title in the SAME market. Yes, been caught out on that.
I have managed on one occasion to buy the exact same paper edition in the same bookshop! Out of coffee error?
