Every so often I notice a British-ism which could be misconstrued from the American editions. Discussing the stress of O.W.L.s, George in the U.S. edition says:
"Fred and I managed to keep our spirits up somehow."
In the venerable Bloomsbury edition we find the more dignified British original:
"Fred and I managed to keep our peckers up somehow."
Either way, I'm sure they did.
