Aero:
I work as a technology writer (*) for an American-owned company, and my copy often ends up over there while lots of theirs makes the return journey. Vocabulary isn't normally a problem (although I do have fun when I'm over in the US with phrases like "gasping for a fag" and "murdering an Indian"): some of the different attitudes to journalism are more, er, involving. In the US, there are a lot more rules about avoiding 'conflicts of interest' - you can't accept anything more than a twenty dollar meal from a
PR, for example - but why then is so much of the copy more hagiographic?
And applauding at press conferences. It's just plain WRONG!

(*) which means my Ppruning is almost entirely for fun. One day, I hope, I'll do some more stuff about flying: currently that's limited to stuff like EMC compatibility, navigation systems and so on.
