 You have foreign countries that work at your hogwan?! Ok, well...I can't imagine that being a comfortable environment. 'Foreign countries' gets my vote. |

Hello, Zappadelta!
In case you're wondering what Chronic Pride means,
waegook means foreign country.
What you probably mean is waegookin. |

Sorry, my post should've been more like Tomato's.
I'm not fluent by any stretch, but when you see words like waegook and Hangeul strewn about at Dave's, being used in incorrect applications, it moves me to react in less than ideal ways.  |

I beg to differ! "Waygook" in that bizarre dialect of English that is spoken by English teachers living in Korea does in fact mean "Westerner living in Korea". There's nothing wrong with it.
People who say "hangeul" to refer to the Korean language get no such free pass from me, though. |

Many foreigners say 'waygookin' and 'waygooksaram'. I think it's healthy to correct each other whenever someone says 'waygook' in the wrong application, to ensure less confusion with developing their Korean vocab.
I'd hope that others would do the same for me, when I make mistakes in learning/practicing Korean. |

| Sorry, ChronicPride, that you don't speak fluent Korean. I do, but waegook is the only way I have seen it posted on here. That's not true, I have also see waygook. So I was just trying to be understood. |

That's what I'd say if I was calling foreign people 'waegooks', and thinking ������ was spelled �� �� ��.  |

So if the bizarre dialect of English spoken by many Koreans is 'Konglish', should this weird variant of Korean be called 'Hanglish'?'Wayhangookoh'?? |
