I never thought that i would feel warm and fuzzy about MR since
i was never a big fan of it, but i think the new proposal is
just totally freakin wacked out. They must be all sitting up at
dogribmoon drinking way to much soju. I propose the following:
1- To hell with romanizations anyway. Lets use mixed scripts. I
hate reading the Korea Journal for just that reason i can never
figure out the romanized words anyway and it makes me crazy.
Let's make everyone learn some Korean, since the romanization
usually involves a noun or two sprinkled here and there.
Realizing that the above is a wacky pipe dream i propose:
2-To hell with what ever wackiness the Korean Ministry of Weird
Romanizations settles on and let's all agree to snub them and
continue to use MR until something a smidge better comes along.
