Hell, remember when Alex Chiasson said it was ok if people in Calgary used the wrong English pronunciation instead of the very French sounding correct one? I bet Kadri is perfectly fine with the English pronunciation, but it's equally fine for Singh to pronounce it more correctly to the way Kadri's family likely does.
I agree with this. As my surname is polish as well I have clients who want to try and pronounce it correctly and have clients who say it as best they can in English. I take no offense to it.
