Online encyclopedias around the world are increasingly adopting a French name to refer to the South Korean islets of Dokdo rather than the indigenous name, apparently as a result of Japanese lobbying, a non-governmental organization said Tuesday.
Dokdo is Korean territory, but some encyclopedias call them the Liancourt Rocks, named
after a French whaling ship that first introduced the islets to Europe. Japan reportedly backs this reference to reinforce its attempt to lay claim to the islets.
"While Korea was stressing its sovereignty over Dokdo, Japan has intensively lobbied the world to promote 'Liancourt Rocks' and 'Takeshima,'" said Park Ki-tae, representative of the Voluntary Agency Network of Korea, also known by its acronym VANK.
Japan calls the islets Takeshima.

So which remedial courses do these WANKers need, Reading Comprehension or Logical Thinking? Or both? |

Does VANK ever have get-togethers or association meetings or whatever? It would be interesting to get a gander at the losers all piled together in one place.
I probably shouldn't go, however. I'm sure one of the goofs would make some stupid comment at me, then I'd make one back, and things would quickly degenerate. |

No. Like most Koreans, they have a "hive mind." |

| That explains much about the 'organization'. It's like The Matrix in reverse or something. |

Their membership could include 32-year-old Korean Canadian librarians.
