You can't say Pro-toss in Korean, only Pe-ro-tot or Pe-ro-to-se. Thus, they do sound the same!

I certainly learned almost all of my advanced vocabulary from games growing up. I remember in high school English classes studying Shakespeare, and the teacher having to ask the class "So who knows what an apothecary is?" and the entire class was like clueless. And I'm just thinking "O that's the medicine man.... and in the future he extracts DNA from space marines, lol"

But if someone said protahtype or protahgonist you would understand right?

Isn't "hydra" in Korean pronounced with a long e sound? That doesn't seem to work with "hydrogen," "dehydration," or any of the other words on that page.

Im laughting here, because the main reason i post here on TL is exactly that: aside from the starcraft content, mafia games and the people i use this site to keep my english improving. Im sure i can understand about 90% of what i read in english yet my ability to speak and write in english is very poor. I think its time to change my quote.
