replacing Sino-Korean ones, but that's just a wishful thinking.


I'd prefer either to a bunch of English words with pronunciation and meaning modified to meet local needs. I find
that confusing. Especially when there are a lot of perfectly good Korean or Sino-Korean words that could be used.

The tide has already turned back in the 70s... There's no going back. You miss a whole generation of Koreans who are well-versed in Chinese characters. No one there to carry the torch so to speak.

Öztürkçe coinages should be universally hated. Except that I love those made by Motoori Norinaga. They are divine.

WTF?

On another note the world's GDP outputs are forecased as this up until 2000-2050:
2000 2010 2020 2030 2040 2050
1 CHN China 1078 2998 7070 14312 26439 44453
* EU European Union * 9395 12965 16861 21075 28323 35288
2 USA United States 9825 13271 16415 20833 27229 35165
3 IND India 469 929 2104 4935 12367 27803
4 JPN Japan 4176 4601 5221 5810 6039 6673
GDP Projection

I suspect, as others do, that this is economic in nature for future children.
On that note, seems like I needs to be gettin to the learnin of Mandarin and Hindi.
