font class="post"1b,121b,121I'll concede with the Pak thing, but this ^^^ is WRONG DIGGITYY DONG.b,121b,121b,121Koreans could only write with Chinese until they got their own alphabet. As the story goes, King Sejong the Great commissioned scholars to great a written alphabet that was easy to use so that the common people could have access to knowledge. Chinese words, even though koreanized in pronounciation, were (and to a big dregree still are) considered high-level words. the so-called "kanji" (I hate that term unless wer are strictly speaking about japan) drawing is the same as in china. b,121b, 21b, 21Alot of the pronunciation is very similar too, even after all these years. Do-so-gwan means library, for example. b,121b, 21h,121font class="post"1b,121b,121b,121 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/know.gif" alt="" /1b,121b,121But is it "wrong diggityy dong" or "wrong diggityy dang"? img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /1 b,121b, 21h,121font class="post"1b,121b,121hahaha I thought about that as I was typing it!
