[Facts] Re: Commonwealth Games jawdropper - Indian?
Thanks, Tanmoy - that pretty well confirms my suspicions, though I don't know if they're suspicions of shoddy journalists or imaginative parents. And your semantic breadth is wonderful, as usual.Over on the Opinions Board, someone from the UK had this to say: "When I saw some of the swimming on TV the other day I'm sure I heard the commentators pronouncing it like She-reeka but I couldn't say for definite. I've also heard her referred to as Se-reeka,(like Serena but Sereka) so nothing like "sick Erica"! I had wondered about her name, didn't realise it was Indian!" Which probably means that I should add confused TV commentators to my list of suspects.
