| Well, it looks like he speaks more Korean than the average English teacher. |

| What you have to understand is Korean is the most scientific language in the world and it's clear that Korean is the language of nature. |

How hard would it have been to fact check this so that they didn't need to reference everland as the source of this information? |

True this.
Also, you have to consider that all of the expressions Kosik uses are variations of 응: nature's dulcet tone, also known as the brown note. |

Late-breaking news: Kosik scores 100% on the TOEIC exam.
When asked to comment on his tremendous achievement, however, the long-nosed beast is reported to have commented "...어떻게?...어떻게?...영어말 할수 없어," shortly before stampeding towards the Creatures of South America pavillion and futilely attempting to blend in with the tree frog exhibit.
A spokesperson for the park, Park Min-Cheol, a stocky male, aged 28-34, who lives in Daechi-dong and has a wife and 3 children, agreed to be interviewed under condition of anonimity.
"Kosik is doing fine. In fact, he's recently been hired to teach English at a hagwon in Gaepo-dong. We wish him the best."

You think so? I didn't really see Kosik as the kind of elephant to use banmal to a journalist.
edit: and what's got you so riled up about TOEIC's low validity all of a sudden? |

The TOEIC raped my childhood.

| SEOUL, South Korea - He's no Dumbo the Flying Elephant but with his ability to "speak," perhaps as close to the Disney cartoon character as a real life elephant can get. |
Can one get cavities through reading? Cancer?

The study also concluded that elephants can passably imitate the sound of a bass trumpet.
