We certainly regret the mistaken reference to Hindi, as John should have been able to tell the difference between the two languages. But no "attack" or criticism was intended by his noting what he thought was playing on the TV set; he was simply describing what he saw and heard when he was at the store. John does so with every review to convey the flavor of each place he visits.
This was not an article; it was a review, and as such, the writer is not really expected to interview the owner beforehand. Other than not liking the prices, he actually came away with a rather positive take on the place: "This neighborhood is young and alive and feels that way, and the tiny 18th Street IGA caters well to it."
