<DIV><FONT size=4>Dear friends and colleagues,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Jim makes an important point. Foreign linguistic
advisers</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>may get</FONT><FONT size=4> overridden - and by no means only
in Pyongyang.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Our List surely includes some who </FONT><FONT size=4>have
similarly proof-read</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>and polished in the other Korea, or are doing so right
now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I'd be interested to hear their views and
experience.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>This issue is almost as hardy a perennial as
romanization.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>But time and again one still runs across South
Korean</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>websites, including those of large companies and official
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>bodies, </FONT><FONT size=4>where the English just ain't
right; sometimes badly so.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Thus the ROK transport ministry </FONT><FONT size=4><A
href="http://english.mltm.go.kr">http://english.mltm.go.kr</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>proclaims on its homepage: "Make Happiness, Happy
Creator".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Amen to that - but what on earth are they on
about?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Then again, in one classic corporate case where
</FONT><FONT size=4>Koreans </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>dreamed up an 'English' product name, </FONT><FONT size=4>the
LG Viewty </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>has sold very well. </FONT><FONT size=4>(Viewty is
in the eye of the veholder?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>- Another thing. English apart, why are so many
corporate</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>and official South Korean websites </FONT><FONT
size=4>festooned with </FONT><FONT size=4>cutesy birds
and butterflies, winsome kids, </FONT><FONT size=4>cartoon characters and
the like? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Almost as nauseating, at </FONT><FONT size=4>the opposite end
of the scale, as </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>North Korea's bloody rats. </FONT><FONT size=4>(Perhaps I am
hard to please.)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>Dear friends and colleagues,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Scott raises the question of native speakers of English
(etc)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>as copy-editors - also known as 'polishers' - in North
Korea.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Having in the past recruited at least two people for such
roles</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>- Michael Harrold, and the late Andrew Holloway <A

href="http://www.aidanfc.net/a_year_in_pyongyang.html"
target=_blank>http://www.aidanfc.net/a_year_in_pyongyang.html</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>- this is a topic about which I'm curious, but not
up-to-date.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Michael, Andrew and others were hired by the
DPRK</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Foreign Languages </FONT><FONT size=4>Publishing House
(FLPH). The texts</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>they worked on were mostly books, as best I
recall.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>By contrast, I've never heard of KCNA using
foreigners.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>My guess would be that they don't, given some
stilted</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>expressions and the odd mistake.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>For example, surely if a native English speaker
were</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>involved they would have recommended a different
word</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>- be it technical or colloquial - for "bottom hole" in
the </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>third sentence of the </FONT><FONT size=4>caption to the
cartoon below.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>There are other linguistic infelicities here as
well,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>not least the title. Either tear apart or tear to
pieces,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>but not tear apart to pieces.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>(</FONT><FONT size=4>On the substance: In my article I
likened doing the research</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>for this to wading through sewage. You can see
why.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>- But back to polishers. FLPH still uses at least one, but
he </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>lives in Beijing. See an interesting interview
with Paul White</FONT></DIV>

put bandaids on your eye-balls after reading so much slashing, violent
fulmination?

<DIV>Any chance you can dig up photos of some of the foreign devils
who copy-edited this stuff in English? One wonders if they have PTSD
