Separated by a common language

REALLY, NOT PULLING LEG. (Teacher and her husband are friends of mine).
But in the USA, we do live in a culture of no national language and freedom of choice, etc.

Maybe yes, maybe no, but that whole L-a story is up on Snopes as an urban legend. I've heard it multiple times.

There are plenty of verified Ladashas but no girls with the name verified as L-a, although after the supposed urban legend came out around 2008, there are probably now a few 5 year old girls answering to L-a.
