<BR>
Does anyone else get the effect below?<BR>
AOL seems not to like hangul, so turns it<BR>
into strange symbols.<BR>
<BR>
Can any techwise person kindly tell me<BR>
how to remedy this?<BR>
<BR>
Meanwhile, at least in simple cases like these<BR>
where a single word is involved, could those<BR>
posting kindly also transliterate into English?<BR>

Perhaps you did this already, but you might try<BR>
looking up <B>"도마도". </B>This is how I remember 'tomato'<BR>
being pronounced back in the 70s in S. Korea. I assume<BR>
this is borrowed from the Japanese pronunciation. <BR>

Dear Korean Studies list<BR>
<BR>
Can anyone confirm that the core class, wavering<BR>
class, and enemy class in the DPRK are also referred<BR>
to by the nicknames "tomato," "apple," and "grape"? <BR>
If so, knowing North Korea's distaste for foreign<BR>
words, does anyone know what the North Korean word for<BR>
tomato is? I could not find <B>"토마토"</B> in a<BR>
Korean-Russian dictionary published in Pyongyang, so I<BR>
assume they have come up with a word of their own. <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Many thanks.<BR>
