Especially when you have so many dicks in the community. | ||

Regardless, it's true that the whole 'european' melting-pot of the past two milleniums has brought things together. Would have been better to compare French with Spanish and Italian though. I've always wondered about this- because i've assumed the link between the European languages were stronger than the root between Asian languages. However having said this- old Chinese script serves as major foundation for the 3 major Eastern languages (Chinese, Korean and Japanese). | ||

(15-16) because many Korean pros probably dropped out of school around then to start playing Broodwar full time. Then add 3-4 years of no practice and that might have an effect on their level. | ||

Regardless, it's true that the whole 'european' melting-pot of the past two milleniums has brought things together. Would have been better to compare French with Spanish and Italian though. English is very similar to German, but it also has a lot of latin roots which makes it similar to those other languages. However, there is no such similarity with Korean, they have no relationship at all. At least a few words and things will be similar between english and Euro languages but Korean is very different and has a lot of sounds missing that are used in English. Obviously English is not just like French, but it's less of a difference for sure. | ||
