With all the confidence of not owning a single Orion edition, I doubt
whether they differ in any way from the American originals, except perhaps
in the spelling of such words as 'colour'. There is a presumed familiarity
with American usage such as 'gas', 'sidewalk' etc that it would seem very
nannyish to adjust the text. As far as bowdlerising (there's an English term
for you) the text, those days are long past.
So, no tweaking.
