This reminded me of a tangential complaint: I (in the US) recently bought one of Richard Osman's books, and its setting is more English than actual England is.

So why did the publisher insist on adjusting the spelling to "Labor Party"? It's a proper noun, and I'm going to pronounce it "lay-BOOOUUURRR" like I always do... you're not fooling anybody into thinking this took place in New Jersey. Did they think Americans would find the extra U offensive or confusing??
