So let me see if I understand this article correctly: are you saying that the president of South Korea is named Roh, but everyone else in South Korea is named Lee? If so, does that mean that those are both actually titles, with Roh meaning "president" and Lee meaning "not the president"?
> couldn't think of somthing witty so you thought you'd just post somthing ignorant instead?
Couldn't think of something logical, such as a joke referring merely to a funny coincidence in an article, so you just thought you'd post a foolish indirect accusation indicating that you are probably ignorant of both humor and logic instead? And spelling? And capitalization? And intelligent use of the word "ignorant"?
If the article had cited a few names from any place and all shared a common surname, personal name, secondary personal name, or nickname, I would have made the same joke with different names; the location was incidental.
If you can't get a sense of humor, "eugene" (presumably "Eugene" to those of us who make more frequent use of our shift keys), at least get a clue.
ah, gotta love people who get all bent out of shape over spelling. sorry dude, I'm not in highschool and I'm not a secretary so I don't really care. But I'm sure your high school teacher must be real proud that you aced your "pretend you're an editor" assignment. Gold star for you.
If my writing is so terrible, Tony, please feel free to educate me by breaking it down and showing me where and how these supposed problems are? Where exactly are all of these sentence fragments? Would you have preferred em dashes in my first sentence to "eugene" instead of the two terrible commas?
Of course, the criticisms in my response to "eugene" were secondary to my response to an unwarranted accusation. Edit away, though, if it makes you happy.
After you are done nitpicking my supposedly terrible writing, perhaps you would like to discuss your invalid logic, Tony. Even if my writing is terrible, that has no bearing on the validity of specific criticisms.
Aside from ending a statement-form request with a question mark. That was certainly an error on my part; I think I changed the form of the request. Oops. Ha ha.

Technically it's not real proud. It's, "really proud." Just for future reference.

@Brian
Your writing is terrible. You shouldn't be criticizing anyone.
Learn how to use commas. I've never seen so many sentence fragments in one paragraph.
