Ego-enlarging? Yours or mine? :) You would derive ego-enlargement from offering to credit me with your work (or at least an extension thereof)? 8^) <lou, lou, snip to my lou...> > "Oshigoto wa nan desu ka" = "What is your profession?"/"What do you do?" > "Nani o shimasu ka" = "What are you doing?" > > I just thought it was interesting that "shigoto" and "shimasu" were so > similar, which is why I only kept those in the final strip. <snip to my lou my daaarling> aaaah... it makes sense, too. 'What's your _occupation_?' vs. 'What's _occupying_ you?' You know, japanese is very similar to korean, "What is your profession?"="Chigopi muo in ga?"(forgive the romanizations...), but that would make sense being as the two countries are hardly a rice paddy's distance apart. You know what? It just struck me that written korean would actually be pretty simple to make in ASCII... a little background, music please, maestro... In 1443, Emporer Kim Sejong saw a rising problem with illiteracy among his citizens. This was because the only written form of their language was to use chinese characters, which, although there are some noticeable patterns here and there, are fairly random-looking and require extensive education to be able to read them. So, with the help of a team of scholars, Kim created a phonetic alphabet - "Hangul". It is said that the average Korean could learn to read this alphabet in under ten days, and it has fewer letters than the english one! Would anyone be interested in a series of posts teaching you how to read korean? Be the first one on your block! Impress your friends and family! Wow, talk about a tangent! (NO please don't!! not a math lecture too!!!) Anyway, those comics are great! I'll be putting up a link on ye ole' website for sure! -Phydeaux -- / / For those squeaky /\ wheels, use: ~~~<\~/7~~~/7~~~~ ( / /, / \ / / _ \// // \ / // .(` /< /) / / / //) / =/= _\ == //\ /(__ \/|//7/ _)/ \(_ (_/ (___/(_ (_ (_ (_/ ~~~Z/~\>~\___)~~ _____/ (http://ice.prohosting.com/wdxl)
