Take two, mostly shorter names: http://tinypaste.com/41d3b This is just some dictionary mangling. Actually most Korean nicknames are just plain English words, which would be easier to generate. The output more closely resembles the abominations foreigners come up with. A motivated person (not me) could likely come up with something much better.  | ||

http://www.iccup.com/starcraft/ladder.html tkfkdqlc, qltlwmsrlghlek, etc. Does this have something to do with...I don't know how to phrase this..Korean keyboards? (as in, if I hit in "tkfkdqlc" on a keyboard with Korean characters enabled, I'd get an actual name that made some semblance of sense?) | ||
