Actually, the UK translations _are_ the most common ones over here,
according to Wikipedia. The ones that I thought were US... aren't. They're
UK. The US translations ran in a newspaperoid thing, and were collected into
4 volumes which... didn't do so well. (Though calling the bard Malacoustix
wasn't bad. Not as clever as Cacofinix, but not bad.) So they just started
importing the UK ones.
