I think you'd be able to understand it!. Sometimes they just change little things to make it more culturally correct, for example using in the US the word sweater, but jumper or pullover in other countries!.
Sometimes they also change some of the spellings, like color to colour!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
If the book was originally written in English, the differences are minimal, mostly in the way some words are spelled and the ocassional coloquialism!. If you read English you are not going to have any issues with the original version written in English!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
Well they change the vernacular, sometimes they make stuff more politically correct(its the scourge of a god book/movie), and yeah you can probably understand it!. I have read books i bought in ireland before!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
