@ Radar. Actually, with the Office I can see more rationale for making an American version. I can also see why you would prefer the American and I would prefer the brit. The whole point of that show is to make it excruciatingly real. That's where the humour derives from. In order for that humour to work, you need to be able to associate in and recognise that workplace as 'normal'. An English office workplace won't resonate the same with you as it would with me and vice versa.
