My vote: The word "is".

As in...

"My from is."
"He is wen is movie is"
"She go is to is her apahtuh."

I wonder what in the Korean language helps to create the extreme misuse of this word. Why do they think it can go anywhere in a sentence and do anything and take on any grammatical form. Anyone got any answers? Anyone want to nominate another word?

It's a toss up between 'promise', 'busy' and 'so'. If I have to choose, then 'so'.

A toss up between

delicious
stress(uh)
envy

The use delicious times that native speakers wouldn't. They use stressuh all the time when they're speaking Korean. And they use envy in an odd way, almost as if to say "you're lucky."
