those kind of things are difficult to explain, because every Korean uses the same language, with the dialects being the only difference.

i do my damndest:) to avoid having to dive into cultural explanations. Since theyre taught their culture is the best, most K's would feel its an attack on them. im sure some ket's are different but I just avoid those situations.

"So I says" is definitely traditional underclass/working class English from London. A Northern Brit would say something different. Give up.
