I completely agree that not getting the canon-picking right is a much more serious failure than not getting the Brit-picking right. There are times when you just want to scream at people to read the damn books.

In my calmer moments, I try to remember that some of the Brit-pick errors are the result of American writers having read the American editions of the books in the first place, and thus it really isn't their fault.
