For what it is worth. I worked in South Korea...as an English Professor...at the same university for 17 years. Most every year....my school ratings were among the highest...if not the highest. Awards and all. I worked with the Board of Education. We set up the initial programs for all Elementary and Secondary School Teachers....who wanted to become English Teachers. I set and taught the programs. Grammatical structures were my main area of interest. I helped set their official exams. I hired the teachers to teach the programs. Any way....long story short....the owners and many posters here are Korean. And they speak English as a second language. Some of them much better than others. I can pace my grammatical structure to theirs....which maybe they don't know I have the ability to do? It isn't special...I am not special in that regard at all. I can barely speak it....but I can. Konglish is a very cool language. love it. Some of the expressions are perfection in a word. Like crafting...artwork. Here is one word. Skinship *No skinship on the first date*. How cool is that? It is an interesting experience. All good. A lot of what we are experiencing now...is lost in translation. Have you seen that movie with Bill Murray? Has some good takes.😂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLHslW5roJs Much of this stress...some of this stress...is language variance....what we say and how we say it....among other things. Semantics and Pragmatics...all at play. The anger and immaturity is unfortunate to see. Peace.😇
