If you do a Google search for \"serotheque\", you will find very few hits in English pages. Most of them are in French pages.

My second example comes from The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc. My third example also comes from a US website. The first one is from an Australian site, discussing the \"French code of practice\", in English, of course. They all come from English speaking countries.
