I don’t think it really matter when you use it as a personal Missal.
I live in Canada, and I use the MTF Daily Roman Missal, which is an American one. I like to read the readings before Mass, and I really hate the disposable Living In Christ missalettes that are the only Canadian option (somethings feels wrong to me about throwing out the Word of God every month. Plus its a huge waste of paper). The LIC ones are tailored to each month and can’t be reused, unlike the DRM which can be used every year until they change the calendar or release a new Missal.
I should also mention that I’m not a big fan of the NRSV-CE translation that is used for the lectionary here. The amount of inclusive language drives me up the wall sometimes. The current US lectionary translation seems slightly better in that regard.
For that matter, I don’t see that there would be a problem using ANY Catholic version of the Scriptures (whether within a Missals or as bringing along a Bible) for the laity.
(The exception would be if a group of laity were praying the Breviary in choir, of course)
There are some who would say that you must only use the approved version…even for personal use by yourself…because you are not praying along with the Church…but I frankly don’t agree with that (again, for personal devotion) because each episcopal conference seems to prefer different versions for liturgies in their countries.
One other point, I wholeheartedly agree with you that the “updated” Scripture versions are far too long on political correctness and far too short on accuracy. That goodness for sites like
Perseus, where one can actually see the original languages.
Are you familiar with the satire site, Eye of the Tiber?

St. Clare Press Ready To Publish New Non-confrontational Translation Of Bible
Cincinnati, OH––Catholic book publisher and distributer St. Clare Press announced today that their new non-confrontational translation of the Bible will be released sometime this September. St. Clare executive Roger Hammond told the press this week that he hopes the new translation helps to appease the minds of critics that have long called the Bible violent and judgmental. “It took close to a decade to complete this ambitious translation, and we’re confident it’ll help people better understand the all-encompassing compassion contained within the scriptures. Hammond goes on to explain one of the most riveting scenes in the New Testament where Jesus, after having overturned the tables of the money changers, goes back to help clean up, apologizing profusely as he does so. Another scene in which the compassion and kindness of Jesus shines forth is Matthew 16:23 where, after having been asked by Peter to not enter Jerusalem and eventually into the hands of the Pharisees, Jesus asks Peter to “
hold that thought for a moment,” before addressing Satan; “
Satan, if you wouldn’t moving just a tad bit behind me? I’d really like to get this little point across to Peter. I feel so rude asking you this, but…I mean don’t go out of your way or anything…” Hammond went on to tell reporters that the project has become a kind of therapy for all those involved in the project. One employee of St. Clare Press, Beverly Tomas, said that seeing Christ in a new, more tender, and compassionate way helped her get over years of abuse she suffered by “strict and judgmental nuns.” “I remember sitting back just a year ago and reading a newly translated verse in which the old Christ would’ve said something like “Woe to you, Pharisees, you hypocrites,” but now he gently places a hand on the shoulder of a Pharisee, pleadingly, and says,”
Come on guys…I was gonna call you a whited-washed sepulchers, but honestly, I don’t think you’re a bad person…I just think maybe you’re hurting,” and lightly tapping the Pharisee on the chest, Jesus said unto him, “Hey, guy…you wanna know what I think? I think you’re hurting inside…hurting right there in that big ol’ heart of yours. Is that’s why you’re acting like this? Wanna talk about it?”

Last thing we need is people focusing on their digital devices during Holy Mass…or it may look a bit too much like Mark 13:14
