I don't find the current volume "dumbed down" at all.  Mainly UK vs. US
spellings and grammar peculiarities, "The Ministry has" vs. "The Ministry have"
and such.  There are Britishisms such as the greeting "Wotcha" that US kids
might not know yet.  At least it was not changed to "Yo Dawg!" <evyle grynne>
